I couldn't have asked for a better father in law or Papaw J to my kids. He was truly one of a kind and loved by all. I wish I could've known him longer than just 3 years but I'm thankful to have been able to have a close relationship with him. My heart aches and it definitely won't be the same without him.

Wendell was truly one of the best people I've ever known. I served with him in Germany. Everyone liked him, got along with him because he was just that kind of guy. He was my friend and "roomie". Everyone will miss him as well I know. Heartfelt sympathies to Cathy and all of his family. Try to be comforted by the fact that he is resting in a better place.
