I will always remember Wendell. We met sometime ago (late 70’s). I sold Wendell and his then family their home in Front Royal and other properties too. Wendell then sent various family to me and they bought properties. Once I got their trust, being the honest family they are, I sold many properties. I wish there were more people like Wendell. He gave me a boost when I was getting started in the real estate business. I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you again Wendell and all his wonderful family.
