Another 9/11 has past, I can't believe it's been 20 years. I think of all the memories and laughs at work. I miss you my friend.

Obituary
Send FlowersThe Oldest Teammate
Carol Waldie thought of her husband as her fifth child. "Just what I needed," she said. Kenneth Waldie wanted to do everything the kids did, especially their sporting activities.
For instance, his daughter, Meredith, 17, plays on the varsity basketball team, wearing No. 44. Mr. Waldie was at games so often that the coaches referred to him as No. 44 1/2. After he died, the coaches had his number put on shirts and presented them to Mrs. Waldie.
Since he admired Joe Paterno and his brother had gone to Penn State, Mr. Waldie was fanatical about the Penn State football team, and sometimes took his son J. T., 14, to games. He kept himself as fit as a professional athlete. He jogged and worked out every day, and at work, he always skipped lunch so he could go on long walks with colleagues. On frigid days, he would be the only one out there. Mrs. Waldie said that at 46 he looked the same as he did at 20.
Mr. Waldie, who lived in Methuen, Mass., had two other children: Andrew, 24, and Jeff, 21. A senior quality control engineer at Raytheon, he was headed to California on a business trip.
Around work, his colleagues referred to him as "911," because of his generosity whenever someone needed help. His favorite number happened to be 11, and he was on Flight 11 when it crashed on the 11th.

20 years. I sometimes think about what might have happened in that time, but prefer to think of all the memories. Wonderful memories.
I am proud to have been called your friend.

Kenny!! I think of you so often. I can still hear you saying Skeets!!! Whats shakin babe? The thought of you fell into my head again tonight and I found myself here on this page. It still hurts so much to think of you and know you have been gone for so many years. Sometimes it seems like yesterday I was in high school and only just beginning to recognize the positive impact and sense of security in the world you were blessing me with. The older I get the more I recognize how important you...

Although I never got to meet you I think of you often. You would be so proud of your son Jeff and the wonderful father and husband he is. My niece is married to him and your grandchildren are the the light of their lives. We will never forget your memory. Bless you and your whole family.

Praying for the Waldie family on this day. Knowing the family and being good friends with his son Jeff at the time of this tragedy, I can only hope that Ken will never be forgotten and forever be in our prayers. God Bless

Always think of you and your family on this day. Kindyll and I will never forget your kindness towards us at AAU basketball games. You and your family made a lasting impression on us as well as anyone who knew and met you. Forever in our hearts.
