So very many vivid memories of George and his siblings as we all persevered under Dan O'Briens practices and meets at the RGC "back in the day". Sunday was family day where all the parents rooted during the meets. His Mom, Virginia, pinned all the meet ribbons to her blouse; she had many!. Sunday evenings were also great as we all dined together for dinner.
Warmest heartfelt thoughts for all the Wendts.

My deepest condolences go out to the Wendt family. I can still picture him and the rest of the family poolside at RGC. May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and the days ahead.

An excellent teacher not only of academia but for life choices. George enthusiastically encouraged the pursuit of open water swimming which was the best advice I ever received.

Condolences to the Wendt family on the sudden and unexpected passing of George, a Renaissance man to be sure. I will remember him and say his name. May happy memories leaven your grief; and may you find some solace in knowing that his passage came while he was doing something that he knew well and loved.

George and I were in many classes together at Fenwick. Athough I never got to know him well, and I hadn't seen him since 1965, I vividly recall what a gentleman he was--a really good guy.
