It has taken me a bit longer than I thought it would to come and share my memories of who we called Pops.  When I met Pops he was like you sure are beautiful but I see those handcuffs on your left hand.  It was a couple months later he me t my husband, then he would say he better be careful I'm gonna steal her from you and in return my husband would say I'll break an old man hip! So throughout the relationship it was always he was gonna take me from my husband. Then we moved to Pennsylvania and pops said he moved you away from here (Virginia) because he was afraid that I was gonna steal you from him. A few weeks later we can back for a visit and I said hey pops how you doing? As sure as the sky is blue he said sinning!! I will miss you Pops

Reflecting on all of the wonderful memories from my childhood to adulthood. I will never forget the laughs, mischievous smile. Driving lessons and serious talks about at that time boy's and as an adult talks about men.  Take your rest. The original Waddell. Rest In Heaven 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Sleep in peace Uncle Earl. From the time we met you there was never a dull moment. You were funny, always respectful, and never judged me. My kids adored you and always said when you left from coming to see us that Uncle Earl is hilarious. But now heaven has you, no more pain no more suffering. Even though your loved ones wanted you to stay God decided to bring you home to rest in his loving arms. Love you always Uncle Earl💙 from your favorite…Kenya 

My condolences to the family! Always "cuz" you will be remembered!
