That will not be forgotten.

Rich and I only met him a couple times, but he sure made a lasting impression. Wendell knew how to keep us all on our toes with his kind sense of humor. He was quick with his wit, generous in spirit, and intimidating on the golf course. Out of our league, for sure! It is an honor to cross & share paths with such an wonderful man.
