After returning to Canada he and his wife moved to Park Lake and started their family. Wendell spent his life working for the LNID, retiring in Lethbridge in 1980 where he lived until the present time. Wendell was a crossword puzzle enthusiast and a very avid reader, conquering novel after novel right up until a few months before his passing.
