William Roy Addleman
October 15, 1947 — January 5, 2019
William "Bill" Roy Addleman, 71, was born on October 15, 1947 in Alhambra, California to Roy Comley Addleman and Genevieve Workman and entered into eternal rest on January 5, 2019 in La Verne, California.
Bill was a long time resident of El Monte who ran his family's business after his father and grandfather before him. He was very active in that community including involvement in the Kiwanis Club, Elks Club, and Past Master of Lexington Masonic Lodge. He inspired the youth as a leader of the Order of DeMolay. He was an avid fisherman, both salt and fresh water, and spent much of his time in the outdoors off-roading in the desert and hunting in his youth. Those who know him would attest to his great sense of humor and generosity, but above all a strong man who loved his wife, family, and friends.
Bill leaves behind his loving family: Wife, Elizabeth Barrios Addleman of Big Bear City, California, Daughter, Genelle Addleman Garrett of Las Vegas, Nevada, Goddaughter, Cynthia Ontiveros of La Verne, California, Goddaughter, Melissa Parker of Washington, Sister, Geneve Addleman of Washington, as well as several other family members and friends who loved him and will miss him dearly.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made in Bill's name to:

Condolences may be sent to the family through our website.
