Paulette,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know Wynn was your hero. I will cherish all the memories I have of working with Wynn at DB and our winning that Pinnacle trip. Sharing gardening stories and swapping pictures of our pets. He was a very special friend and I will miss him, but know that his laughter and spirit will be with us always.
Hugs and love-

Dear Paulette, My deepest sympathies are with you at this most difficult time. I know you have lost your best friend and I feel I have lost one of mine. Although I can count on my fingers, how many times Wynn and I actually met, I considered him a near and dear friend. Both you and he supported me during a very difficult time in my life and I always considered him my guardian angel. The comforting thought to me is that Angels occupy the loveliest corners of our thoughts so Wynn will never be far away. God Bless -

Just wanted to thank you Wynn for all of your help with our 'favorite' account in Jackson. Being a new Project Manager with BCI has its challenges, but having had you in my corner and working with you was the most beneficial training I could have had. What a pleasure it was to know you. You will be missed.
Blessings to your family.

Mrs. Buchanan,
I was so sad to hear the news about Mr. Buchanan. I remember the time that we were all staying at the same hotel in Austin together. My brothers and sisters and I came back to our hotel room to find a staircase lined with Easter baskets. While we were at an event, you were both busy wrapping our baskets and lining them up in order of each child. We were all so surprised and happy to each have our own basket! Years later, when I thought that I was going to move to Mississippi to attend Ole Miss, you both were so welcoming and supportive of the idea and treated me just like family. I will never forget your husband's joyous presence, gentle nature, caring spirit and generous heart. He was such a special man that I am so fortunate to have met and had in my life. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this time of grief.

We were so sad to hear the news of Wynn's passing! He was such a wonderful man and always such a delight to be around. His bubbly personality infused the room with joy and laughter as soon as he crossed the threshold into the lab. Alycya and I will always remember the fun-filled trip to Jackson with Wynn to view an instrument. He made the day one to always remember!He talked about his love and conpanionship for his lovely wife Paulette as we enjoyed a delicious lunch at Nick's. He was truly happy and content!
We lost such a wonderful person and he can never be replaced but we know he is up in Heaven dancing with the angels and lovin the music! Our hearts go out to Paulette and all the others who loved him as dearly as he deserved!!!

The privilege of sharing friendship with Wynn for over 30 years is truly one of the blessings of my life. He was a first-class Christian gentleman whose integrity, thoughtfulness, compassion, and wonderful sense of humor touched many lives. He will be greatly missed, but the memories will remain. The Host of Angels now has a special new member on the team! Paulette, may God hold you close during this sad time and in the days to come. In closing, as Wynn would say, "Hugs".

Paulette,
I am so sorry to hear the news about Wynn. Wynn was the first person I ever traveled (25 years ago) when I was a new SP sales rep in Mississippi. He was always full of positive energy and saw the bright side of life. We will all miss Wynn. Thank you for sharing him with us.

My deepest synpathies for the family of Wynn Buchanan. A truly wonderful person to share the "growing up" of med techs with experiences, problems and even recipes. We older friends can appreicate the life time of companionship/teaching/ and sucess that comes by knowing a truly great and compassionate man.

Wynn was a very special person to the UMC family. When we needed him all we had to do was call. He always talked about his wife, Paulette and the flowers. Thank you for being a part of my life at UMC.

Paulette,
After working a short time with Wynn at SP/Cardinal, it was readily apparent that he was one of the sweetest, dearest men on the planet! It was also apparent just how much you meant to him. I can not imagine the depth of your loss and I pray for God's comfort for you and your loved ones at this time of grief. Our earthly loss is undoubtedly Heaven's gain! It is comforting to know that we will see Wynn again! He will be missed by many more people than you will ever know or even imagine. He touched so many lives in so many ways. He was an inspiration to me and I'll always cherish the short time we worked together. I'm certain he heard the words "well done my good and faithful servant". God bless you and your families at this time of sadness for your loss, but also this time of celebration of Wynn's life.

Wynn was a remarkable person. He had a great capacity to give of himself and to always think of others. Individuals of his character and integrity are a real rarity in today's world. It was such a blessing to have known his friendship. He will be greatly missed.

Mr. T (Wynn)was such a dear and treasured friend. He always asked for lots of angels to be sent to him for different things. Now, I know he'll be sending angels our way to help us through this.
I'll miss his wonderful sense of humor!!
Ms. Paulette, He would always talk about his new bride of 40 years!! How wonderful to have that special relationship.

Having known Wynn for 23 years was 23 years that I can say a very special person walked this earth and was loved by all that knew him. I will always remember how Wynn helped my family when we were young by suppling milk for my children. Heavens gates will be open wide to welcome such a wonderful person. My sympathies and prayers are with Paulette, whom Wynn always talked about with such love and all of his family. He will be greatly missed and remembered always by me.

My life is better for having known Wynn Buchanan. He was one of the finest people I every had the priviledge to know, to work with, and to call my friend. Paulette, for all the 'prayers and angels' that Wynn sent to me, I will now send them to you. He had a special place in my heart.

Wynn was a very special spirit. I can recall the days if he was struggling he would e:mail me and ask for prayer. Send more angels he would say. Always looking out for Paulette first. I know he was greeted at the gate by Master himself and the first thing he said was well done my Son. He will be forever missed. Thank You my Friend it was a Honor to know you.

Wynn was one of the greatest and special sales people in the laboratory. Not only was he a great sales person,
he was a true friend to many. I have known Wynn for 30 plus years and he had a great impact on me and many others with his kindness and honesty. This is a great loss for the laboratory and he will be greatly missed.

Wynn was a special person. The most well-written obituary does not do justice to the life he lived and the impact he had on many people. I knew Wynn for over 35 years and he was a very dear, thoughtful friend. I know Paulette will miss him.
