Wendell D. Fore, 83, Green Bay, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 30, 2014. He was born on February 6, 1930, in Indiana to the late Oscar and Inez (Hamilton) Fore. Windy graduated from Jimtown High School in Elkhart, Indiana, with the class of 1948. He then served his country in the U.S. Marine Corps. Windy married the love of his life, Ruth Weaver on November 9, 1952, in Indiana. He worked at Packerland Packing from 1976 until his retirement in 2012.
