Jacque, Marlene, and family, Tyler was in my fourth grade class several years ago at Beazley. During that school year, I saw Mr. Waymack frequently as he dropped off or picked up Tyler from school. If my memory serves me correctly, he even helped at parties and on field trips. I remember him helping me with signs for the school's Reading Night. He always was friendly, had a smile on his face, and had something positive to say. To Tyler and his family who loved him, please accept my condolences. What a wonderful man he was! May the memories of your time spent with him bring you comfort. LuAnn James Shultz Posted by: LuAnn James Shultz at December 23, 2007 03:48 PMI served as a police officer in Hopewell in the mid 80's and Bubba was one of our Magistrates. Always knowledgable and fair, he made tough decisions about legal concepts and public safety on a daily basis. Beyond the professional, Bubba always had a kind word and a smile, usually accompanied by a funny comment. He was a true gentleman who made me a better cop because of his views on criminal justice. I never really knew you, his family, but he spoke of you often and loved all of you very much. He is a class act and I will mourn the passing of a truly great man. I am proud to have known him and my prayers are with you at this difficult time. I am sorry this post is late - I just learned of your loss. Sincerely, //Dear Marlene, I am using this space to send you my sincere sympathy. You have many friends thinking of you at this difficult time. Bruce, I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. My family's prayers and those of your extended family in Christ at CLC are for you and your loved ones. Dear Marlene, We just finished reading George's obit on line. Although I didn't know him, he must have been a fine man. As a Christian, we know that George is in a much better place, but I know that he will be sorely missed by many people. My prayer is for God to surround you with His peace and comfort. So sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. I will not be able to attend the funeral, but my prayers will be with you and your family especially tomorrow and the weeks to come. Marlene and family, I was so saddened to learn of Mr. Waymack's death. He was a cheerful soul, and we will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

One of the "Good Guys" The family will be in our prayers...Dave and Kathi Posted by: Dave and Kathi Cunningham at December 6, 2007 11:33 PMI just learned of the passing of Mr. Waymack. My prayers are with the Waymack family. Prince George County has lost one of her true dedicated citizens who contributed years of service to make Prince George County what it is today. Many of today's citizens don't know what hard work, dedication to our community that citizens like Mr. Waymack provided toward Prince George County in the early 60's, 70's etc. My father, Joe Sturt, has be gone now for 11 years, and I know Mr. Waymack is now in the Lord's house with him talking the way Prince George has grown and prosper by the many good deeds provided by many during the early years of our County. "Old soldiers never die, they just fade away". God Bless the Waymack family and Prince George County for which he loved so dear.
