Last week, Waddle, 42, said goodbye to Hawai‘i. It had been home to him, his wife and daughter for much of the past nine years. With his family already living with relatives in Olympia, Wash., until they decide on a more permanent move, Waddle packed up the last of their belongings.
He will miss the Islands, which made a lasting impression on him. He can still tell you the name of the street he lived on years ago in ‘Aiea and the name of his barber, Gladys.
He spent his final days here at the KÅhala Mandarin Oriental Hotel in a room with a sweeping ocean view, thanking friends and trying to be upbeat after spending much of the past few weeks traveling the country for job interviews.
