He was one of nine children. The family moved from Tiverton to Port Maitland when Mendal was about three years old. This is where he spent most of his childhood.
On July 3, 1943, he married Viola Mae Allen from the Woodstock Road. He joined the Royal Canadian Navy in the 40s and was soon sent overseas to Ireland, up the English Channel, Holland, Gibraltar and Belfast. His daughter Ellen was born during this time. In the navy he served aboard different ships, the final one being the HMCS Charlottetown during the early 1940's. Shortly after returning to Nova Scotia their second child, David Wayne, arrived and four years later there was a third child, Charles Mendal. During the early 1950s they moved to Ontario for a few years before returning to Yarmouth. Many people will remember Mendal from Sandford where he lived with his wife and children for many years before moving to South Ohio.
At this time he was employed by CNR to work in the engine rooms aboard the MV Bluenose and the Marine Evangeline performing various engine room related duties ranging from oiler to Fourth Class Engineer. He retired in 1976 and moved with his wife to Deerfield where they lived until she passed away in 1997.
Mendal remarried in 2001 to Evelyn Rodney of Sandford. They enjoyed seven years of visiting friends and traveling around until Mendal suffered a stroke in 2007. Mendal was member of the Brazil Lake Wesleyan Church and thoroughly enjoyed the fellowship he found there. In later years he attended the Baptist and the Wesleyan churches in Sandford.
