Otis Lee Waddle

Otis Lee Waddle, 72, of Barberton passed away at home on November 3, 2022.  He loved riding his Harley, going to Sturgis, fishing, and his sweet snacks.  He was a humorous man with a heart of pure gold.  He was always there for anyone who needed him, but never asked for anything himself.  He enjoyed playing guitar and had many of them.  He had a very special relationship with the Lord.
