Wendell was a gifted mechanic who loved to talk shop and tell stories. He will be remembered always for his love of dancing to “Dumas Walker” also known as Pappy’s song.

“When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared

There was thunder from the throne

And seven Spanish Angels

Took another angel home.”
