Frank's spirit is alive and well in every Farragut cadet , administrator and faculty member that ever knew him. His kindness, grace , integrity, wisdom, humor and generosity defined him as a leader among men, and colored every decision he made throughout his life.

Frank was my "Go To Guy". A champion, a fighter, and a loyal supporter of educational programs. A true gentleman if every respect. He is still missed.

Volumes could be written about my "PalFrank", but suffice it to say, Frank Wendt was a giant among men.Highly successful in a business environment not normally known for compassion, he never once compromised the truth of who he was, and to this day, remains the kindest and most honorable man I've ever known.
