Kenneth Iwin Waddell

He retired from Greene County Bus Garage after 28 years of service.

Mr. Waddell was of the Church of God faith.

He loved baseball, was an avid farmer until his health declined. He was a man who could fix anything, even if he didn’t have a part to fix it with, he would make it. He loved growing garden and sharing the bounty with friends and neighbors. The love of his life was his grandchildren, but above all: God.
