oitwaav0u
Cabell Sr., the third of four sons of the late Charles Thomas Cabell Sr. and Sophie Cabell was born on February 24,1930 in New York City.
After a briefbut painful illness he reunited with his parents peacefully and quietly on Sunday, October 14,2001 at7:00p.m. in the comfort ofhis home.
Wardell grew up in Harlem and was a product of the New York City Public School System. He joined the Air Force in 1947, served in Korea and was discharged in 1949. He worked as a Skycap at Idlewild Airport (Now Kennedy Airport) from 1950 to 1955 when he began a career as an Oil Burner Service Technician for Ebony Oil Corporation, the first Black owned oil company in New York. He retired in 1969 with a disability after a near fatal automobile accident after fourteen years of dedicated service.
Affectionately known as Wally, he was endowed with many skills such as baking, cooking, repairing, building and could fix just about anything. To his many friends he was "The Best", "One in a Million". He never hesitated to lend a helping hand and would do it willingly with a smile.
He was a devoted father to three children, Pat, Stevie and "Lil Wally" who predeceased him on January 11,1995. Wally loved to travel and when someone said, "Lets" he would say, "go" and do all ofthe driving. However, much ofhis time was spent with his three buddies, Sonny Bowers, Shortstop Glover and Robert Williams sitting in the backyard, cooking out, playing cards or doing what he liked best-fishing off the Rockaway Shore while trying to sing his favorite gospel hymn - "Rough Side ofthe Mountain".
God gives each of us a gift and to Wardell He gave more than one. Wardell was special, a father among fathers, a friend among friends and above all, the gift ofthe ability to give unconditional love.
He leaves to cherish his memory: his loving companion, Dorothy Sullivan; two devoted and loving children, Pat and Stephen; two brothers, Charles and William; three grandchildren, Stephen Jr. of St. Georges, Bermuda, James Paulin and Stephanie of Atlanta, Georgia; two sisters-in-law, Lynn and Frances; one daughter-in-law, Juliette of St. Georges, Bermuda; one son-in-law, Kenneth Lee; two great-grandchildren, Quamell and Christopher; four nephews, Curtis, Alvin, John and William Jr.; seven nieces, Janeen, Courtney, Sherrise, Dannielle, Lauren, Shirley and Keisha; cousins, Cleo, Roy, Pat and Harry, each ofwhom was like a sister and brother and a host ofrelatives and friends.
THE FAMILY

As children we cant comprehend or fully realize the scope of a fathers love, how tender and wise. His patience and his guidance, his helpful caring ways. The little things he does to brighten up the days. Years go by before we realize the depth of his concern. The love displayed by his protectiveness takes so long to learn. But as we grow we understand, for we look back and see through older eyes and wiser hearts his love and loyalty. Its these and many other things that make him grow more dear, more admired and more appre ciated with every passing year. Rest, Daddy. We love you! You will always be in our hearts.
The family of the late Wardell Cabell Sr. wishes to acknowledge with deep appreciation the many expressions of love, concern and
kindness shown them during the passing of their loved one. May God richly bless each of you.

DO NOT CRY FOR ME
Do not cry for me. I lived my life as I believed, true, simple and to the point. I smiled when I was pleased; I cried when I was sad and stood up when they told me to sit down.
Do not cry for me. I want you to live because I believed in living. Love unconditionally rejoice in what is real and always remember to believe in what you live.

zyrd Psalm
LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His names sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil: my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. - AMEN
