In grief, and yet in a sure and certain hope for the resurrection of the
dead, I announce the death of my father, Max Waldrop. Robert Max L
Waldrop Sr. died December 7, 2007 at his home in Arvada, Colorado, after
a long struggle with cancer. He was born September 9, 1925, in Frederick,
Oklahoma, to William Glen Waldrop and Dovie Irene Bagwell Waldrop.

His grandparents, L.E. and Mollie Howdeshell Waldrop and Americus Madison
and Eva Lena Smith Bagwell, came from Texas to Oklahoma Territory before
statehood. His grandfather A.M. Bagwell participated in the opening of
the Big Pasture in 1906, the last large tract of land opened for
settlement in Oklahoma, and his grandfather L.E. Waldrop served on the
Oklahoma Board of Agriculture.

Max L graduated from Henderson and Union schools in rural Tillman County,
and served in the Merchant Marine during World War II. After the war, he
attended Cameron College in Lawton, Oklahoma, and married Betty Jo
Cassidy. They had two children, Robert Jr. and Susan Marie. He was a
farmer until 1975, when Betty Jo passed away and he moved to Colorado,
first to Lake City, and then to Denver. In Colorado he worked as a
commodities broker. In 1981 he married Claudette Copper of Arvada, and
became father to her two children, Terry and Ann.

Max L greatly loved his family, the outdoors, hunting, and fishing, and
was always willing to lend a helping hand to family, friends, neighbors,
and strangers. He could fix anything with baling wire and duct-tape. He
knew the agricultural markets from the grassroots, as a farmer and later
as a professional trader in agricultural commodities. He was a life-long
blood donor, giving gallons of his own blood to help others. He could
ride, hunt, fish, shoot, fly a private plane, and play poker. He was a
member at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Arvada.

He is survived by his wife Claudette of Arvada, his daughter Susan of
Arvada, son Robert Jr. of Oklahoma City, and his family with Claudette --
Terry and his wife Tammy and their children Tanner and Alisa of Arvada,
and Ann and her husband Shannon and son Christopher of Stratford,
Colorado. We are who we are today because of his great love, principles,
and example.

Graveside rites with military honors will be held Tuesday, December 11th,
at the Ft. Logan National Cemetery in Denver, at 2 PM. The funeral
service will be Wednesday, December 12th, at 2 PM at Trinity Presbyterian
Church in Arvada. Memorial donations may be made in his memory to your
favorite charity or to the Oscar Romero Catholic Worker House.

Eternal rest grant to him, O Lord, and may eternal light shine upon him. 
May his soul, and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the
mercy of God, rest in peace.

Bob Waldrop

Oscar Romero Catholic Worker House, Oklahoma City
