Please accept our sincere condolences, Kim and Family.
We have lots of fond memories of Wendell from back in our Black Forest construction days of 1976. Wendell now joins his brother Gary, a special college friend of ours for many decades as well as an usher at our Chicagoland wedding in 1962, who passed on several months ago.
