Condolences & Memories (67 entries)

• I am shocked to find out of Wendell's passing so late after the event. I went looking him up on google in an attempt to reach out and re-connect only to find of his passing instead. Wendell and I lived together in Pickering, Ontario for a number of years. We played many sports together including hockey and softball. Wendell (Wendy as I called him), was a great friend and a absolute joy to be around. I am truly sorry for the families (and all of our) loss. - Posted by: Mike Kershaw (Friend) on: Mar 06, 2019

• I'm so saddened to hear of Wendell's passing. I grew up with Wendell in Hamiota, and we played on many of the same hockey teams as youngsters. He had a HUGE amount of character, even back then, and I always admired his fearlessness when it came to meeting new people. Rest well, my friend.... - Posted by: Ross Perlmutter (Friend) on: Jun 03, 2013

• My condolences the family. Wendell was a great friend and loved by many. We were neighbours in Lethbridge in 1984 and I remember how all the neighbourhood kids were afraid of him when he first moved in, but it didn't take them long to figure out that Wilbur was just a big kid himself and then they were always at his door trying to get him to come out and play street hockey with them! He was one of kind, and will be missed. - Posted by: Brent Difley (Co-worker and friend) on: Apr 05, 2013

• I was heartbroken to return from abroad and learn that Wendel had passed away. Our family has known Wendel and Bev for many years since our youngest daughter Laura attended school with Tori and they became friends. They played on the same soccer team until they were well into their teens, and we recall many, many times watching their games with Wendel (who more often than not preferred to stand rather than sit). I also recall the time when Wendel and I played in an end-of-season parents versus daughters soccer game where he revealed considerable talent in goal. I will miss running into him occasionally when taking our dog for a walk, for he always had a cheerful greeting and made one feel like a valued friend. Joan and I offer our deepest sympathy to Bev and Tori and Jaclyn, as well as Wendel's parents, on the loss of such a genuinely special man. We will miss him greatly. - Posted by: Richard Howes (friend and neighbour) on: Mar 19, 2013

• Dear Bev and family, My sincere condolences on the loss of Wendel. Although we'd only met a few times, they were always for something exciting (Kim's 50th and Kim's inauguration to CAHF). I'm so proud to have met you and to have seen how close your entire family was. Wendel seemed such a lovely, gentle man, someone so very respected and honourable. I wish you the best, Bev, as you move forward now without Wendel. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Donna Ford - Posted by: Donna Ford (Colleague of Kim's ) on: Mar 17, 2013

• Words just seem to fail me, when I first heard today that Wendel had passed away. Being out in Alberta had its challenges as all correspondence had to be by mail, e-mail or phone. However he never forgot a birthday or an anniversary. He also was a great influence in our financial decisions and will now be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Bev, Jaclyn and Tori, and Wendell's family. His always positive outlook was a great encouragement for us. - Posted by: Gilbert & Hanna Steinke (Client/Friend) on: Mar 14, 2013

• Wendel, you will be greatly missed! You always had the ability to make me smile even when I really didn't want to. You had the ability to make me mad- even when I didn't want to:) - but most of all you had the ability to make me laugh! Thank you. I will miss you and think of you often. - Posted by: Cathy Mitchell (friend as well as co-worker) on: Mar 14, 2013

• My good lifelong friend and little brother "Wilbur", what an influence you have been. From weed-picking, post-pounding teenagers to full-fledged grownups with families and children, almost every action I take reminds me of some story that involves our adventures... and mis-adventures! I'm so glad we stayed in touch across time and provinces, even if not in person. Bev, Jaclyn and Tori, please accept our condolences. I am sure you are well aware of just how well-known and loved Wendel was, and there will always be a place in our hearts occupied by the big man. Rest well my old friend. - Posted by: Brian and Barb Gross (Former co-worker and friend) on: Mar 14, 2013

• I had the honour of meeting Wendel many years ago when I was a game night attendant for the Winnipeg Jets and he sat in my section. He always greeted us with a big smile and a hug when he came up the ramp and would ask how our lives were going. Years later I was lucky enough to renew his acquaintance when his daughter dated my son's friend and Wendel would come and watch the boys play volleyball. He always had a big smile on his face and genuinely enjoyed watching the boys play. He had such a beautiful spirit and I am so honoured to have known him. To his wife and daughters, I offer you my heart felt condolences on the loss of such a wonderful man. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. - Posted by: Maria Lysack (Friend) on: Mar 14, 2013

• I knew Wendel through his brother Kim, during his university days and in the years after and I got to know the McConnell’s of Hamiota. Wendel was a kind and fun loving person, coming from such a fine family. I am saddened by his loss and I know he touched a great many in a special way. I offer my condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace, Wendel. - Posted by: Doug McNair (friend) on: Mar 12, 2013

• Wendel had the ability to light up a room. His fun spirit and coy smile will be sadly missed. Our thoughts are with Bev and the girls. - Posted by: Rod Woodcock & Alana Toms (Friend) on: Mar 12, 2013

• We were deeply saddened and incredulous upon hearing of Wendel's passing. We will forever remember his joie de vivre, always ready with a quick line or joke. Every time we see the Boston Bruins, we remember Wendel. We offer our most sincere prayers and thoughts to the family as they start this newest chapter in their lives. Wendel will be missed by many- he was definitely one of the good guys! We love you Wendel! - Posted by: Richard and Pauline Chabot (friends/clients) on: Mar 12, 2013

• My deepest condolences to Wendel's family and to Brad. I will always remember Wendel as a great big teddy bear who could make me laugh just by walking around the corner. He was always helping Tori sell her girl guide cookies and would always try to talk you into buying a whole case instead of just a couple boxes. You will be deeply missed, Wendel. - Posted by: Carmen Kube (Former Coworker and Friend) on: Mar 12, 2013

• Wendel, we were shocked today to read of your passing. You were the best advisor and friend to us. My condolences to Bev, your girls and the rest of your family. We will miss your inspiration. Whose name will I misspell now. Gloria and Kyle. - Posted by: Moraldo Family () on: Mar 11, 2013

I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to Wendel's family during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. - Posted by: Donna Cameron (Client) on: Mar 11, 2013

• Wendel was a very special person who made every encounter an exceptional and enjoyable experience. I will always be grateful for him taking the time to escort my 90 year old uncle to a Moose game. He will be missed very much. My heartfelt condolences go out to Bev and the kids and his family of co-workers at IG. - Posted by: Darryl Vincent (Client and friend) on: Mar 11, 2013

• I heard the sad news this morning and I still can't stop thinking this is a mistake. I wish I would have known sooner as I would have travelled to pay my respects. Wendel was an amazing Advisor who knew how to make his clients feel like they were his only ones. Wendel has taught me so much about how to build relationships with clients and I often use examples of the things he did when I am teaching. Wendel became a good friend as we both enjoyed a passion for hockey and business. Wendel would be pleased to hear that I am now so happy the Bruins were able to beat my beloved Canucks to win the Stanley Cup. He deserved to see them win! Wendel I will miss your humour, professionalism, honest banter and most of all the happiness and optimism you brought to every conversation. I hope I can live to be half of the professional you were. You will be missed forever. - Posted by: Nick and Kellie Davis (Friend and Client) on: Mar 11, 2013

• Whenever we'd talk on the phone, I would greet Wendel with a "How are you today?". His answer was always the same; an excited and passionate "Darn Near Perfect!!" He loved teasing Canadiens' fans almost as much as his Bruins. Though we were clients of Wendel's, he treated us like genuine good friends. You gave so much of your time to us. You were so caring and supportive with the recent death of my own father. You were so friendly to us. You will be very much missed. May you enjoy an eternal place now that is "Darn near Perfect!" - Posted by: Chris and Karen Mackie (Client, Friend) on: Mar 11, 2013

• So deeply sad to hear of Wendel's passing. He was such a uniquely generous and kind person with a funny anecdote or story to tell whenever we spoke. I'll always remember his 'loud as life' presence at our wedding in Moose Jaw and I'll cherish all the fun times we shared in Lethbridge. Woody, as we grew to love him by, chose a beautiful woman, Bev, to be his life partner and Dave, Fred and I were fortunate enough to attend their wedding. Woody was, from day one, was an instant family man. He loved Jaclyn deeply and when Tory was born he couldn't have been more proud....From time to time Wendel would just call me to 'chat' about life, his kids, he and Bev's fulfilled life together, and to 'keep up on things in Lethbridge'...I'll really miss those chats ....My heart and sympathy goes out to Wendel's parents, his brother and to Bev and his girls Jaclyn and Tory...He was a great man and will be sadly missed by all who knew him....much love Chriss and Dave Lawson from Lethbridge. - Posted by: Chriss and Dave Lawson (friends) on: Mar 11, 2013

• Bev and family. Wendel truly was a good man who cared about everyone. He could find solutions when they didn't exist, he made promises that he always kept. He worked hard and he played hard and he left us far too soon. Please accept Wendy and my condolences, we are so sad. - Posted by: Ken McLean (friend) on: Mar 11, 2013

• Wendel I'm so sad to hear you're gone. You have been such a good friend to me since we were neighbors in Prince Albert. Your sense of humor and love of life was so contagious . You will be missed. My heart goes out to Bev, Jaclyn and Tori.....He loved you all so much. You will be missed and loved always my friend. - Posted by: Lynn Belanger Poirier (Friend) on: Mar 11, 2013

• Wendel has been our financial advisor for the last 7 years or so. This relationship actually developed into a good friendship over time. He was a very caring and thoughtful friend. He never forgot and was always on time sending birthday or anniversary cards. He also became very close with our two boys. The Boston Bruins are my kids’ least favourite team and Wendel, being the Bruins #1 fun, would always like to remind them how good the Bruins are. Just after the last game against the Jets (in which they won), he called home and left a message for the kids saying “The Bruins are God’s team and they will win the Stanley Cup again; they have actually started engraving their name on the Stanley Cup”. My kids always laughed when they heard his messages. We actually haven’t been able to tell our kids about this yet; too scared of how they will take it. As a financial advisor, he has been very helpful. We were always impressed by how quickly he got back to us with a lot of information and a lot of numbers. We are still in a shock for his untimely passing. He will be dearly missed. One thing we will always remember is his sense of humour. He had the gift of making you laugh even during serious moments. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. R.I.P Wendel! - Posted by: Tedros Bezabeh & Makda Matteos (Friend/Client) on: Mar 11, 2013

• Wendel you will be missed. We have tremendous respect for you, how you provided leadership to our office. You where never one to grab the spotlight, a great example of how hard work prevails, always working in best interest of others. You exemplify the Investors Group ideals of Integrity, Quality and Responsiveness. Always the first into the office and last to turn the lights out. We will leave a light on for you… - Posted by: Rob, Charla and Peter Eby (Co-workers) on: Mar 11, 2013

• Wendel was a great support and a wonderful friend. We appreciated his sense of humour, his honesty, and his love of life. His passing came as a shock to our whole family. Bev - he spoke so fondly of you. Tori - he was so proud of you. He will be truly missed... - Posted by: Brandy and Jeff (Clients and friends) on: Mar 11, 2013

• Wendel, my friend that always had a positive happy cheerful outlook on life and happy grinning smiles will be greatly missed. You were one of a kind and very special to all that knew and loved you. - Posted by: John Leveris (Friend) on: Mar 11, 2013

• I first met Wendel when he was a summer student in Melfort in 1979. Then our paths crossed again in Lethbridge in 1983 - a meeting that led to a lifelong friendship. I always admired Wendel's positive, upbeat, competitive and compassionate nature. Wendel was 'in the prime of his life' for as long as I knew him. And my life has been blessed and enriched by having him as my friend. My family's thoughts and prayers go out to Bev, Tori, Jaclyn and the rest of the McConnell family. May God give you peace and strength during this difficult time. - Posted by: Keith Schenher (Friend) on: Mar 11, 2013

• I first met Wendel in University, early in our Aggie days. My god we had fun! He was a good friend who got me out of a couple tough spots . . . . and also got me into a few. We worked together for many years. Wendel cared deeply and worked hard. He made me better at my work. I have many good memories. - Posted by: David Dzisiak (Friend) on: Mar 10, 2013

• Wendel, thanks for being my friend in good times and in bad. I appreciated every smile, every laugh, and every kind word. Your absence will be deeply felt by all who knew you. I will miss you my friend. - Posted by: Jay Grech (Friend) on: Mar 10, 2013

• I met Wendel several years ago as he was a friend of my brother's and I was in need of a financial advisor. Wendel always kept my best interests at heart and even when he felt I should go that extra mile and I fought him on it, he would accept my wishes. When my dad passed away, Wendel made the trip out to rural MB to attend the prayers and his letter he sent after, had me in tears all over again. That was Wendel, always thinking of others. You will be missed, Wendel, and I will miss those yearly visits and the phone calls and emails that were all in good fun. My thought go out to Bev (who he always talked about) and his girls. - Posted by: Pamela Storoschuk (Friend/Client) on: Mar 10, 2013

Bob and I are just so glad we had the opportunity to have known Wendel and our lives are that much richer because of this. - Posted by: Rosalind Scaife @ Robert Cancade (clients / friends) on: Mar 10, 2013

• Wendel and I shared an apartment in Prince Albert, Sask. when we were both starting our careers back in 1980. Wendel and I played on a Slow Pitch team and had tons of laughs during the game and over a few beers after the game. Wendel enjoyed music and especially when he got his new Klipsch speakers. God needs good angels and he must have needed one who could hit a home run. We will miss you Buddy. Bev, Jacklyn and Tori our thoughts and prayers are with you. - Posted by: Kelly and Jo Anne Mack (Friend) on: Mar 10, 2013

• Wendel was the first person we saw at work everyday. He never failed to come see us and talk about the latest news & TV shows. He would share some of the best and funniest from his large repertoire of life stories. We loved his big heart and larger than life presence. We will never forget you bud. You will leave a big whole in our lives. Love and hugs to Bev, Tori & Jaclyn. - Posted by: Jo-Ann Wahl & Kristin Meisner (Co-Workers & Friends) on: Mar 10, 2013

• Bev, Ruth and Red, Kim and Carolyn and families We are so saddened to hear of your great loss. Although we only met Wendal once or twice, we know what wonderful stock he came from and what wonderful examples he had to follow. Ruth and Red you should be so proud of your accomplishments as they show in the accomplishments of your children. We have always admired the closeness and love that is so obvious in your family. Please keep all the happy memories alive, and Wendal's loving spirit will always be with you in the sparkle of your grandchildren's eyes. God bless all of you. Lots of love and friendship to all of you. Jack and Dolores Kelly - Calgary - Posted by: Dolores and Jack Kelly (Friends) on: Mar 10, 2013

• I remember Wendel as a great friend and hockey fan. I have shared games with Wendel in Prince Albert, Montreal and of course here in Winnipeg. At the games we discussed life, family, dreams and players that should have made the show. Wendel was a kind heart, caring and compassionate who would step up to lend a hand for those who were in need. As a fervent Boston Bruins fan, Wendel dished out many comments and sometimes had to eat some crow over how the Bruins played, and even my young children would try to egg me on to phone Uncle Wendel whenever his team came up a little short. While there were big words on how the Bruins or Argos were playing, I had the pleasure of hearing Wendel tell of how busy and well the three ladies in his life were doing. You are a great friend, a great family man, and a gentleman who will be missed by so many people. - Posted by: Gordon Kowalchuk (friend) on: Mar 09, 2013

• 25 years have passed since I first met Wendel across the aisle of a busy ag show where we vigorously competed for attention from the farmers passing by and for the most part ignoring both the big boisterous man in the Elanco booth and the little Roundup hawking woman from Monsanto. I learned so much from him over the years, things I will never forget like...How important it is to put joy at the centre of everything you do - How family is always more important than work and of course - How humour can get you through the toughest of times. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family buddy. You will be missed. - Posted by: Judy Morfitt (Friend, Client, Co-worker and Former Competitor) on: Mar 09, 2013

• Wendell thanks for all you did for myself and our family. I very much appreciate your caring about much more than just the business aspect of life. I will miss the conversation and laughs over the years. Our prayers are with the family. - Posted by: Doug Beckie (Friend/Client) on: Mar 09, 2013

• Hard to believe that you're gone. This is truly a very sad time. Our hearts are broken. We've known you for over 20 years and wish we could still say we've known you for much, much more than that. At this time we say farewell, til we meet again. Our thoughts, hearts and prayers go out to Bev, Jaclyn and Tori. May the Lord hold you and comfort you in the palm of His hand. - Posted by: Ralph and Pat Tanchak (Friends and clients) on: Mar 09, 2013

• We want to pass along our sincerest sympathies to Bev, Tori and the rest of the family. We have been Wendel's clients for the last few years. He was nothing but kind and caring towards us. We loved bugging him about "God's team" and we considered him a friend. To his family, he talked about you so often and with such love...rest in peace Wendel. - Posted by: Michael and Kathleen Hofer (client/friend) on: Mar 09, 2013

• We are deeply saddened by the news of Wendel's passing. We met in 2008 as clients of Investors Group, we were instantly friends and treated as though we were lifelong clients.

Sincere condolences to Bev and family. - Posted by: Angela and Todd (clients/friends) on: Mar 09, 2013

• I am very saddened to hear of my good friend Wendell's passing. Though we did not see each other very often we always stayed connected through phone calls and Christmas cards. Woody,as he is known to his friends in Lethbridge, was a very caring person and full of energy. We will all miss him dearly.

• Having met Wendel while volunteering on a community board some 13 years ago, his magnetic personality shone right from the start and that was the beginning of what turned into a business relationship and friendship. Having had a sharp wit and a warm personality was only overshadowed by his warm smile. You were taken from us way before your time Wendel. I will especially miss our phone conversations and practical jokes and wish much comfort to Bev, Tori, Jaclyn and Katie as well as your parents at this unexpected and difficult time. - Posted by: Jeff Stern (Fellow volunteer, friend and client) on: Mar 08, 2013

• Wendel, you touched so many in that wide swath you cut through life. We harvested 35 years of friendship since our paths first crossed. There is a book full of life lessons you taught me. I admire the passion you had for everything you did from work, family, sports to even picking weeds in a neighbourhood boulevard flower bed. You have left me with stories and memories that will always be remembered. You will be missed - Posted by: Norm Janssen (Friend) on: Mar 08, 2013

• Such sad news. Wendel was our advisor for 10+ years and it was a pleasure to have his help & guidance.

Our thoughts are with his family at this time. - Posted by: Barb & Wilf Miller (Client/Friend) on: Mar 08, 2013

• I've known and dealt with Wendel over the past 13 years now, both on a personal, and business relationship. His sense of humor, unique way of always making you feel at ease, and making you feel like you were the most important customer he dealt with will be greatly missed. He knew how to treat people, and how to make us laugh everytime we talked. We will miss him dearly. He may leave a hole in our hearts with his absence, but he has filled a empty spot just by knowing him, and having his memory with us. May you rest in peace, and may your love for people carry on in the ones you've touched. From all of us at GJ Chemical Co. Ltd. - Posted by: Brent Manning (Client, Colleague, Friend) on: Mar 08, 2013

• I first met Wendel in the summer of 2001 on Parkroyal Bay. He struck up a conversation after seeing our Aurora, Ontario recycling bins. Merril and I became friends with Bev and Wendell and their girls. We learned about the proper way to grow lawn grass, the importance of Christmas decorations and enjoyed laughs and good times with the McConnells. We will miss Wendell and remember him fondly. - Posted by: Dave & Merril Johnson (Friends & former neighbours) on: Mar 08, 2013
