a perfectionist. Just as he worked hard; he played equally hard. He enjoyed golf, hunting, and his family. He loved golfing and golfing well. He loved hunting, but probably enjoyed the peace and beauty of the outdoors as much as the actual hunt. In the last few years Jim really began to appreciate life as he slowed down. This was probably due to the great love he had for his grandchildren and family. Jim passed away March 1, 2013 at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. Preceding him in death were his parents: Claude and Betty Wadle and step father, Wayne Nolte; brother, Monte Wadle; father-in-law, Russell Gass; and sister-in-law, Marge Gass. Surviving are his wife, Linda, sons: Tony (Angie) Wadle, and Ben Wadle; four grandchildren: Haylie Wadle, Andrew Maresca, Avery Maresca, and Olivia Wadle; siblings: Gary Wadle, Pam (Frank) Cacciatore, Madonna (John) Milburn, Laura (Chris) Conrad, and sister-in-law, Emma Wadle; mother-in-law, Jean Gass; and in-laws: Harry (Alonna) Gass, Ann (Bill) Miller, and Robert Gass; and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Also surviving are special friends: John Carle, Dave Yarges, and Dan Fall.
