The first words that came to mind to describe Ian Waddell were energizer bunny, according to longtime friend Vance Campbell. The guy just never stopped, he was energy in a body, he never stopped going, said Campbell. Wherever he went, a whirlwind followed him and nothing but friends wherever he went.
The two became fast friends when Waddell, a former NDP MP and MLA, helped Campbell get started with his first business in Vancouver. That was 50 years ago.
