RICHARD WADDELL

Worked with Mr. Waddell, he was a great man and human being. Taught me a lot about the industry. He'd tell me let's go for a ride, I'd scramble for a pad and pencil thinking we gonna check on some projects. We drove by a few but all we did was talk about other stuff. I am so grateful we crossed paths in life. Rest in Peace

I was saddened to hear from Susan that her dad had passed. I knew Susan from Hartman and Williams days of long ago. I was the heifer replacement manager at Tamarack Feedyard. I was welcomed into her family and had many meals at their home as well as meeting them for lunch at times. I loved that family and we laughed a lot playing pictograph. Susan's dad always got a chuckle at my career pursuits. I had shared holiday dinners with them and always remembered those days fondly. God Bless you and...

My condolences go out to DeeAnne, Susan and family.

Mi mas sincero pesame por su perdida. El domingo antepasado pase por la calle Imperial acompañado de mi esposa e hijos. Me acordé de Richard. Estaba buscando su teléfono en la web para hacerle una llamada y saludarlo. Hablé con el hace como un año. Me contó que estaba en casa y que estaba viejo y se rió. Soy Alfonso Marin de Mexicali quien en 1999 le compro la Toyota Land Cruiser '89. La sigo conservando. Con su pintura original . Y en excelentes condiciones. Como el me dijo. Esta...

My sincere thoughts and prayers are extended to Dick's family upon learning of his passing. He was a man highly respected by all that knew and worked with him. I first met him when I returned from Naval service to continue my surveying career with William L. Riddle and Associates. We enjoyed a close professional and personal relationship over the years and worked together on many projects, him with Waddell Engineering and me with TESCO Engineering and Surveying. I even made some "train...

Richard (Dick) Waddell was the ultimate "statesman" of our local civil engineering community. He and Harry Orphanos (County Engineer/Director of Public Works) exuded high professionalism and standards for us (young engineers) to follow. Mr. Waddell's Berkeley education created the perfection standards that he would share (if asked!). Many Imperial Valley residents live in the subdivisions that Mr. Waddell designed and many of the water treatment plants have Mr. Waddell's handprints on...
