Remembering Joe Waddle ’37 Joseph Waddle ’37 of Yellow Springs, Ohio, passed away on January 5, 2010, at the age of 94, but he left a considerable mark on both the University and its campus. The Waddle family farm, where Joe grew up, stood adjacent to the Cedarville College campus. In 1962, Joe sold the farm to the College, a purchase partially funded by $1,000 donated by students. The land spanned the area where the Dixon Ministry Center, Stevens Student Center, and northern residence halls now stand. At that time, Cedar Lake was just a small creek, and Joe later commented on how thrilled his father would have been to see a lake on his farm. As a child, Joe enjoyed watching Cedarville basketball games and, as a student, played varsity basketball and baseball at the College. He went on to teach high school and coach basketball, leading his team to a state championship. He remained a loyal Yellow Jacket and was honored in 2007 (pictured left) as one of the University’s most faithful fans, with 75 years of involvement in the athletic program. Reflecting on Joe’s legacy, the entire Cedarville family is forever indebted to him and his family for making the campus what it is today. CEDARVILLE UNIVERSITY 33
