Read More	Wendel was born Aug 19, 1919 in Tanner, DeKalb District, Gilmer, WV to Samuel Sylvanus and Daisy Elizabeth (Hinzman) Riddle. He spent his childhood and youth in Gilmer County, graduating from Gilmer County High School in 1937, and enlisting in the United States Navy in 1942. He served aboard several naval vessels during his 30+ years of military service during World War II, Korean War, and Vietnese Conflict. He retired with the rank of Chief Warrant Officer. He married his first cousin, Georgia Riddle, in June 1946. At the time, she was a cadet in the US Army Nursing Program at St Joseph's Hospital In Parkersburg, WV . After she completed the cadet program and received her certification as a Registered Nurse in 1947, she moved to Norfolk, Virginia where he was stationed. They raised one son, Patrick Wendel Riddle. According to his North Carolina death certificate(he was a resident of Mocksville, Davies County, NC), Wendel died of a heart attack on May 9, 2000 near Burnsville, Braxton County, West Virginia while on a hunting trip. However, an obituary published in a Norfolk newspaper indicated that he died in Parkersburg, West Virginia. His funeral services were conducted in Parkersburg and his burial in the Roseville Church Cemetery in Gilmer County, WV. It is unclear whether he became critically ill in Braxton County and transported to Parkersburg for medical care where he died or whether he died in Braxton County and then transferred to a Parkersburg mortuary. His funeral service was held at the First Lutheran Church in Parkersburg.
