Albert Bacheller Wells II

I feel so honored to have known this kind and generous man. He helped me along my path to success and it saddens me to know that this angel is no longer in our midst. May His grace and mercy be with Susan and his family.

Albert's and my relationship was short, intense, and uplifting - for both of us. A week long bike ride together forged an intimate bond that I know that each of us felt and acknowledged......he was quite a man!

Even these many month's later - I just heard Albert had passed away - I feel his presence and his impact on my life.

Thanks Albie and Susan for allowing me to be a small part of Windcall and your life in Bozeman. My memories of Albie will always be special in my heart. Peace and love to you all.

I feel honored to have counted Albie as a mentor and friend. My memory of him reminds me of what humane leadership can and should look like.

To Susan and all the Wells, I extend my heartfelt condolences. You're an amazing and close family, and I know this loss is huge.

My solace comes from knowing that, with you, Albert left a tremendous legacy, lifting hundreds of leaders and communities in their efforts to create peace and equality, as well as harmony with our natural world. I...

I met Albie the first or second day after the group of us arrived at Windcall in June 1998. I remember him breaking out maps of the area, taking us on a long hike up the ridge and proudly telling us about the this place he loved - its history, geography, wildlife. He had boundless energy and enthusiasm, was keenly interested in all of our work for social justice and wanted us to soak up the enormous generosity of the land and mountains in which he and Susan hosted us. I am forever grateful...

I was lucky to work with Albert and Susan and many others on the Windcall Residency Program and the Abelard Foundation, and my life is forever changed by this deeply compassionate work. Albert has my deep respect and admiration for living his life with passion and purpose, always seeking to know more and serve better. My heart goes out to the family and loved ones.

I had the privilege of spending time with Albert in Montana through Windcall in 2001. What an amazing man. I will be forever grateful and changed by his uncommonly warm hospitality and deep generosity of spirit. My heart goes out to his family during this time.

I had the good fortune to attend a Windcall retreat many years ago. The spirit, generosity and humanity of Susan and Albie Wells profoundly inspired me. He will be missed.
