We Remember
CHADDOCK, William “Bill”

On July 27, 2022, Bill Chaddock passed away unexpectedly of natural causes, in Kelowna, BC.
Bill was born in Trail, BC on November 9, 1937. He lived in Toronto and Montreal, coming back to BC in July 1972 to live in Enderby. He moved to Vernon in 1974, and to Kelowna in 1992.
His entertainment career led him to many locations across Canada. He played as a pianist in luxury hotels such as The Empress in Victoria, BC, and the Banff Springs Hotel in Banff, AB.
Bill was gentle, kind, and friendly to everyone and dearly loved by his family.
He will be missed by his son Paul Chaddock of Quebec; his sister Margaret Coughlan of Vernon, BC; his nieces Christine Berg (Gary) of Armstrong, and Teresa Fisher (Bruce) of Vernon; his nephews William Ticen (Cyndi) of Ridgefield, Washington, and Timothy (Lark) Ticen of Soldatna, Alaska; and his extended family. Bill was predeceased by his parents Harold and Julia; and his son Marc Chaddock.
In keeping with Bill’s wishes, he will be cremated and there will not be a service. The family requests that flowers not be sent.

I only knew Bill for a few short years but every time I saw him he wore a warm, friendly smile, You could not help but reciprocate! You knew the first words out of his mouth would be something kind, cheerful, and probably a compliment. He was a gentle person, so kindhearted, thoughtful, humble and very intelligent. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. I know so many, including myself will miss him. Mary-Lynn Lamboo
We miss you, Bill, but treasure the memories of our family picnics and camping together with extended families. To Paul, Margaret and families we extend our condolences. Bill was such a kind and gentle man. We are proud to call him our cousin. Rest in peace, Bill.
Dear Dad said that passing would be a great new adventure. I’m sure he is right… A nice, gentle, kind man, very curious and well versed in many subjects. I hope in this adventure, he has already met John Lennon, Cervantès and Babe Ruth. I bet they are playing poker right now and Dad is the life of the party, as he always was (with the Babe as a close second). Happy trails, Papa! See ya later.
All the best to the extented family and much empathy to you for the lost of William.
Paul
Dear Margaret ,and Family ,
