  2. My deepest condolence to see another vet has passed. he helped me during my visits to the VA. Gods speed to u and my god keep in his busom.

  3. Wendell was my best friend at the VA, we shared lots of stories and food receipes. He loved my Holupki, homemade wine and Buttermilk Pies. He became a great friend to my son over the summer when my son volunteered all summer at the VA Hospital. Our loss is nothing compared to that of the family, my heart and prayers are with you all. See you one day my friend! Carol

  4. I’m so sorry for your loss. Wendell was always so nice and fun to be around at work. He always made me laugh. He was always very willing to help me with anything that i needed help with, protective of me, and always there for me when i needed a friend. He never said one cross word to me. There was a group of us that hung out at work, and he made all of us laugh. He will truly be missed at work. He made work easier to get through every day and made it a little more bearable.

  5. I will miss you Sam…My friend of more then 30 years…Your with God now…May God ease the hearts and minds of those who loved and cared for you…I never thought id have to say goodbye to you in this way..Hope to see you again some day on the other side buddy…God bless and keep your family…

  6. I work with Wendell at VA Hospital he was an good person plus he will be missed. may god rest his soul

  7. Wendell was widely known and unanimously loved at the VA Hospital, where he worked. Although I have known him casually for years, just last week, he handed me his official business card because he had volunteered to help me with an issue I was having. When I got back to my office and looked at his card, I could not help but smile when I noticed that he had given himself the title of “King of Property.” That was just like Wendell…to find a way to be funny and spread cheer even within the rather formal confines of the government system. His warm smile and sense of humor will be greatly missed. My sincere condolences to his family.

  8. Wendell aka “Sam” was my neighbor growing up. He was one of the smartest in our class. I have many stories, but to mention just a few…when I was about 3 years old Sam met me at the back fence and said “Hi Girlfriend”…his mother Laura always told this story. He also rolled me through a field in an old barrel because I was dumb enough to let him. I witnessed Sam hiding from this father on the roof of his house more than once when he was in trouble…;> Great hiding place by the way. He also blew up a battery in chemistry class and many other things in his backyard. He was a great guy not to mention entertaining. I know Sam is at peace with our Lord. I pray for peace and comfort for his family during this difficult time. Rest in peace Sam…

  9. The only thing that comes to mind is..wow, I can not believe what I am reading. I have so many childhood memories of Sam and like you Jeanna, I remember him “hiding” on the roof more then once. Sam would always walk with me down the fence on my way home and just joke about alot of things. My prayers are with Laura and the rest of the family.

  10. I am so very sorry to have heard about Sam, I know this has been a big loss to your family. I hope that you can find peace in knowing that he is in heaven with our Father & watching over all of you. I think of all of you quite often. All of you are in my prayers.

    Love,
    Kelly

  11. I thank GOD that I had the opportunity to know Wendell. He was always kind to me, and he liked to tell me corny and funny tales. He was a nice, cool guy. My words of comfort to his Mother and family:

    He will swallow up death in victory: and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces. Isaiah 25 vs. undefined God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me.
    Psalm 49 vs. 15
    May the Grace of our LORD and Saviour be with you all.

  12. My thoughts and prayers go out to Wendell’s family and friends…I know we never lose the people we love. They live the rest of our lives with us in our heart. We will all sadly miss you Wendell, but your memory will forever remain with us. Rest in peace my friend…

  13. Wendell,
    You were my best bud here at work… You always made me laugh… From our crazy call signs that we had to you just being you….. We had some great times here at work….. Nicky says hi as well…. I will always remember you having Richard Cheese playing when I came down to pick up Chris to go home and making me laugh… You will be missed dearly….. Nicky. Well take care bud. Chris

  14. Wendell was one of the first people I met when I started working at the VA. We would talk while riding the bus to or from work. A truely happy, kind, and wonderfuil man, he always seemed to be at peace with the gifts God had given him and would have an encouraging word when needed. Although I did not know him away from work he was the kind of person that I would have liked to have known as a friend.

  15. Wendell was a great co-worker and friend. He helped Biomed on more than one occasion. His quick response and work ethic was extremely helpful to me personally and to this shop. I was fortunate to be able to know him a little better than most while giving him a ride into work this past winter. Great sense of humor, hard worker, good friend. My sympathy to Wendell’s family and friends.

  16. Wendell was always so nice and friendly. His smiling face and voice will be missed here at the VA Medical Center. I will miss him!

  17. My heart felt condolences go out to Wendell’s family. Even though I didn’t have the opportunity to know you for very long, I will miss your smiling face in the mornings. Wendell always was smiling and had a great sense of humor. The “King of Property” is defineately going to be missed around here.

  18. I only knew Wendell in passing in the halls at the VA. He always had a smile to share with you and witty, funny things to say or talk about. His smile and personality will be greatly missed here at the VA. Rest in Peace Wendell and my prayers and sympathies to his family at this time of great sorrow.

  19. Wendell was such a wonderful guy to work with. I loved going on EOC rounds with him, he knew the hospital so well and we got our rounds done very quickly. We would joke around and make each other laugh the entire time. I always looked forward to Monday afternoons so I could meet with my buddy Wendell.
    I was so shocked and saddened to hear of his sudden death. Wendell you will be missed greatly.

  20. Wendell was a good friend and a fantastic person. Working with him was always a pleasure and he was a dedicated employee of the VA. Anytime I needed help, Wendell was there. It is with a heavy heart that I say good-bye to my friend. My prayers are with his family and friends.

  21. I’m saddened to hear of Wendell’s passing. For years I’ve been blessed to be greeted by him with smiles and friendly conversation. Always helpful and cheerful, Wendell was an assett to the VA who genuinely cared about other Veterans and his coworkers. I pray that Wendell’s family, friends, and coworkers will feel God’s comfort at this grievous time.

  22. I’m so sorry for you loss. Wendell was a great man and very good to work with, he was always cheerful and had something nice to say to everyone. He would help anyone out whenever he could and always did his job to the best of his abilities. He will be missed by many at the VA.

  23. My deepest heart felt condolences to the NOE family.
    Wendell was a real buddy of mine, we worked at the Roudebush VA for a number of years together. Wendell and, I were commuters on the public transit together sharing many stories of Military and, Life. I shall truly miss him.

  24. I will miss talking to Wendell on a daily. He was my property manager and really took pride in doing his job!

  25. King Noe you will be greatly missed by all here at the VA. My sympathy goes to the family of this once great man. I am truly sorry for your lose.

  26. My buddy, I will be there someday, so hold me a spot next to you so we can catch up on the latest in Heaven. You inspired so many people in these last few years my friend. We both started late in life to make a difference, and you have left a positive mark on the hearts of many. Rest in joyous PEACE! Dave

  27. I have known Wendell for approximately 2 years and found him to be an energizing person and a critical thinker. He was always ready to fight any injustice with regulatory guidance and would pursue appropriate channels. I am truly sorry that he is gone especially in view of him moving forward with new endeavors in his life. He is greatly missed.

  28. To the family of Wendell-
    Look to the hills from whence cometh thy help: That help comes from the Lord.
    For we know not the day nor the hour when we will be called home.
    We are family here at the VA. We feel your loss.
    Know that Wendell was loved and cared about here.

    Hold on and be strong.

  29. Wendell was a very energetic person and did so much for many people. I am glad I got to know him and work with him. Hold on to the Memories and the love. They will be with you forever.

Hear his voice in the wind, see his face in the distance and know he is there to watch over you and protect you. Take care and look to your heart and the Lord for the comfort of your loved one.

  33. I knew Wendell through working at the VA and everytime I would see him in the hallway, he would always make a point to stop and see how I was doing. He was a very caring person. I will always remember the compasion he had for others and how he went out of his way to help them. He will be missed by many friends and employees but never forgotten.

  34. I am very sorry for the family’s loss. I knew Wendell as someone who was always ready and willing to help. I miss meeting him for breaks and miss the great service he provided to my section.

  35. I just found out about Sam today. IGÇÖm really sorry for the loss to his family and friends; you have my condolences and sympathy. Sam and I went through the Army together from basic training until the end of our 3 year commitment in 1987 and I havenGÇÖt seen or spoke to Sam since then. I had the pleasure of getting to know him like a brother. IGÇÖm not surprised to see he was being generous, positive and helping people. I canGÇÖt count the times Sam was there to help me out through good and bad times. Sam was a big influence on me and IGÇÖm a better person for knowing him. Sam definitely taught me a lot about really living and taking life as it came. I could share a lot of great stories that would crack everyone up but this isnGÇÖt the place for that. Sam was one of only a few people in my life that IGÇÖve called friend.IGÇÖd like to know more about what became of Sam after the Army. I came across this website searching for him to try and catch up. “King of the Property” Sounds like Sam alright.
    Thanks Sam!!

  36. 7-20-17 I found out by accident yesterday about his passing. I met him in the Army, along with Jim Hensley, when we were in what they call a cohert platoon in the mid eighties. He was fun to hang around with back then, and I’ve thought a lot about him and our platoon over the years. We thought it was funny, when the drill sergeant would scream, ordering him to state his name, and he would answer loudly, “Noe, Sergeant! ” That drill instructor would get a mad, crazy look on his face, as we’d hope to heck we didn’t start grinning about it, or we’d have to do some more push ups. I sure am sad to hear that wild, cantankerous old buddy is gone; I pray that I get to see our comrade in arms again, one day. Das bedanya, comrade!
