Scott Wendorf, age 62, of the Village of Yorkville, passed away on July 15th, surrounded by his family.
Scott was born in Oak Creek to Gilbert and Ethel Wendorf. The family moved to Yorkville when Scott was young when his parents purchased a farm. It was there he had his best memories of life- hard work, hunting, fishing, camping, horseback riding and a love for Harley Davidson. He was a Journeyman Tool and Die Maker, as was his father and together they had Wendorf Machine, specializing in prototype, close tolerance tooling. Scott was known for his big heart- always willing to help a person, repair parts for local farmers and always making sure everyone had "enough". He put his heart and soul into his Halloween parties- haunted hay rides, bonfires and fireworks. No one left without having fun- they were the stuff of legends.
Above all, he loved his family. He leaves a legacy of love with his wife, Ann, daughter Katie Williams (Alan) and son, Jakob Wendorf.
He was preceded in death by his father, Gilbert, dear friends. Uncle Cookie and Casper, and the best pup, Coco.
Scott will be missed more than he could ever imagine.
A special shout-out to Scott's friend Steve- for hours of banter, exchanges of venison for cheese and being a solid person. He loved those chats.
The family wishes to thank the staff of Aurora – Mt Pleasant for their kind and loving care, along with those who have raised our family up in prayer. It means so much.
A private celebration of Scott's life will be held on September 23rd.
