Christopher is survived by his wife, Joan Waddell, who wrote us this note:

I am responding to the 50th anniversary save-the-date notice received by my husband today.  Unfortunately, Christopher Waddell passed away in June of 2013 after a lengthy battle with Parkinson's Disease.  As plans for your reunion gain momentum, perhaps you will include an "in memorium" type of tribute for those within your class who have also passed?

Best of luck with your event,

Joan Waddell
