Oh my, we've lost a wonderful man. Wendell was enormously helpful to our culinary department as we purchased, moved, and swapped out equipment for our many culinary lab spaces. Most memorable was the attitude he displayed as he performed these duties with a smile, an enthusiastic get-at-it spirit, and good humor. We will miss you, Wendell, as you take your turn dancing with the angels.
