Wendall. I didn't know you that long, but we loved the same things, when it came to food and HOT stuff. My datil cucumbers you seemed to love and after you became ill, I've had a few jars waiting to give you, however, you chose to pass for now because of your situation. Wendall, you were "a one in a million man" and I feel so honored and blessed that God brought you into my life. You had a "dry wit" that made me adore you and see past that "firm exterior" of yours. Your always made sure I had some of the best tomatoes every other week when I came around. I appreciated that so much. Heck, it's hard to find decent tomatoes anywhere, but you always found the best! You will be sincerely missed. Thank you for giving me the honor of meeting you and being a small part of your life. I will miss you kind sir, more than you could ever know. I promise to take care of Joanne as long as possible. You two were "one in a million" when it comes to lifetime relationships. Love you my friend!
