My first intro was in church one Father´s Day service. He was not able to see his kids ; nor I , mine. I was going to have a picnic that day so I ask him to come. I´m so glad I did. I married Frank in 2019 and we were blessed to have Charlie at the wedding. He sang a special song for us. Thereafter, we got together frequently. We love you, and will miss you, Charlie.

Such a kindhearted gentleman Mr. Waddell was. I will miss his smile and sweet personality!! Rest in eternal peace with Jane.

Charlie was always concerned about others and how he could make their lives better. I had the honor of chauffeuring him in Leesburg Independence Day parades and knowing him when he was at Spring Arbor where he was a leader of the community there. Known as the Singing Senator, he brought in musicians and entertained there. He was also active in Sunday Church Services. R.I.P.
