Richard Marshall Wells

Lynn & Family, Belatedly learned of this wonderful man's death. I was his deputy for ops at DMA. He restored the reputation of DMA and set it on the path to modernization in the digital era. Under its new name, NGA, it is providing tremendous support to DoD and many others. Dick is in the NGA Hall of Fame.

Dear Mrs. Wells and Family,My name is David Myers. I was recently made aware of your loss of General Wells and want to express my heartfelt condolences to all of you. I served under then Col. Wells as 1st LT in the 84th Engr Battalion in Vietnam during the later portion of his tour there. He commanded the highest respect and yet was a very personable individual. A great leader and Commander, I am very fortunate for having served with him. The country has lost a great soldier. May God bless...

Both my wife and I were saddened to learn of the demise of Gen. Wells. He was the first Division Engineer of the Corps' newly-formed Middle East Division in Riyadh Saudi Arabia over 35 years ago. I was his legal counsel headquartered in what was called "The Palace" there. Our offices adjoined each other. I remember him as a hard-working, likeable and respectful general. The world has lost a true gentleman. He will always live in our memories of a time long past.

My sincere condolence to General Wells entire family. I served under Gen. Wells in Saudi Arabia and knew him to be a great person and officer. I am proud to have called him a friend in civilian life and know he will be greatly missed.

He was a great help in my career with the Corps of Engineers and was instrumental in me being assigned to BGen Heiberg in the Ohio River Division. He jokingly referred Gen H as the baby General. I am truly sorry for your loss and am sorry I did not know you were our...

Lynn, sincerest condolences. Still think fondly of you and Dick and our HNTB years. Many memories w/ The Deck and all the I-10 facets. Quite simply, Dick was the best "boss" i ever had the chance to work with. ADOT and HNTB were very lucky to have had him there.

I had the great pleasure of working with Dick at HNTB almost 30 years ago. He and Lynn were a delightful couple. My condolences to his family.

I never had the honor to meet the general but I did serve in the army and that puts us in h same brotherhood. Blessings of peace to he family.
