    Sue and children. I am heartbroken to hear of Bro. Waldie s death. We always had a talk whenever I had the opportunity to be at a Red Hill service. He was a kind, gentle soul who made the world a better place.

    I cannot light enough candles that can shine as bright as Waldie did. He helped get me through the toughest years of my childhood. Rest peacefully, your work on earth is done!
