Wendell, you will surely be missed. I will pray for your Family's comfort. I have known you for 10+ years in work and social times. I will never forget how you would fun me about possibly being related, since I had family in Orange and when, since our birthdays were so close together, we'd sometimes go out and celebrate. I believe your unique sense of humor is why we got along so well and why you thought there was a relation. You called me May to say you wanted to get together again to celebrate and when I couldn't reach you later then found out you had left this Earth on my birthday, I choked, cried, and grinned at the same time. I know you understand why. God Bless you, your family and friends! Landis

Wendell was a great friend through high school and beyond. One of the kindest and funniest people I've ever known. We used to ride on his motorcycle (before he bought his first harley) and sing a Steppenwolf song... "From Here To There Eventually". I still think about that when i listen to that song. My sincere condolences for his family. He was a very special man.
