I had the pleasure of meeting Wendell about a year or so ago when I visited
him and his lovely wife at their airpark home in Diamondhead, MS, about a 3
hour drive from my home in Lafayette, La.  He gave me a tour of his
hanger/shop and showed me his project; I believe he was installing the
canopy at that time.  With his Legacy hangared in the backyard, I thought
his place at the airpark was ideal and what dreams are made of!  Wendell was
a wonderful person, always wearing a smile and a sporting a sense of humor.
He often sent out jokes via email and was also quick to offer building
advice.  Like the article said, he seemed to be really enjoying his
retirement years!  Wendell, a fine man indeed.  I will certainly miss him!

May God bless his soul!
