Not sure what to say?

Here it is, nine years since Wendell's passing and I was thinking of him just this morning as I walked my dogs. He truly left an indelible mark on my life and I am a better man because of it.

What a grim surprise to discover Wendell's passing. I was born 1/14/32 thus slightly younger and I regret not having taken more time in recent years to touch base with Wendell as I had done a few times as ScotsCo matured. Our friendship began when Wendell was associated with John C Higgins and my Dad Spencer regarding Lumber Distributers Inc in Arizona about 1950 I think.

To the Walker family,
My condolences on the passing of a great guy. I am proud to have worked with him, one of the most honest men I ever met. The world will miss him.

To the Walker Family,

I am so sorry to hear of Wendell's passing; please accept my heart felt condolence. Wendell made a huge impression on me and to this day I share the lessons he taught me during my years at Scotsco. He touched the lives of so many and we are the better for it.

To the Walker family,
Wendell will always have a special place in our hearts. Some of my best lessons were learned during my time at Scotsco working for Wendell. He made the job fun and enjoyable.

My favorite memory of my grandpa is when he would use his finger as a drill to drill holes in my cheeks where my dimples are. Now every time I smile, I think of him. He was a wonderfull man and a spectacular grandpa. He will never be forgotten!

To the Walker Family,
Wendell was my dearest friend and no one person was more responsible for the great life my family and I have enjoyed. I feel so lucky for the time I spent traveling with Wendell around the world or the many nights we spent together around the campfires while hunting or fishing.
Our family will always remember Wendell for the time we spent with the Walker family at the coast or other locations.
Wendell was a very special person and we all thank God that we...

My deepest sympathies to your entire family Barbara. All so dedicated to living life as a precious family because of You and Wendell.

Ian and family, I'll always remember Wendell with a crossword puzzle in hand and sharp wit on his tongue. I loved and respected his humor, kindness and his love for his family. I'm so sorry for your loss, but so overjoyed you had Wendell in your lives.
