Charles Elphinstone Waddell, of Reeds Point, NB, passed away on Wednesday, February 19, 2014 at the age of 80. Charlie to his many friends grew up in Reeds Point and attended school in Kingston. Both Charlie and his dear wife for 55 years, Maria opened their hearts and their homes not only for their own children, but for so many others who needed a home. For many years, he worked as a mechanic for Otis Marr, until the garage closed. He then put his many skills to work for Art Miller. Charlie was a mechanic, carpenter, and electrician. If there was a job to do, or a question to be answered, Charlie was your man. His family will always be grateful for all he did for them, from trips, building swings, wooden horses, and making sure they had bikes in their youth. Another legacy left to his children, was the love of animals.
