Wendell was a true sports fan and his favorite pastime was watching golf, baseball and hockey on TV. Being an avid golfer, he belonged to the River Hills Golf Club, in Port Clyde and for many years he would also travel to Florida so he could play his beloved game. He was a fisherman all his working life catching lobsters and ground fish.

At one time, fishing alone, he caught ten thousand pounds of Pollock and dressed them all himself. In his younger days he was a champion at trap and skeet and is still remembered for his skill in the competitions at Beaver Dam. Being an outdoorsman, he also enjoyed hunting deer with both bow and rifle. There will be visitation held Tuesday, October 30 from 7-9pm at the H. M. Huskilson's Funeral Home in Barrington.
