A memorial service was held Wednesday, April 17, 11 a.m., at Grace Lutheran Church in Hutchinson, with interment in Oakland Cemetery in Hutchinson.

Mr. Wendlandt worked mostly as an over-the-road truck driver for various companies throughout his career.

Kenny and Dorothy both have been members of Grace Lutheran Church in Hutchinson since 1958.
Mr. Wendlandt enjoyed hunting, fishing, many camping trips, and card games. He had the chance to go moose hunting twice in northern Minnesota. Mr. Wendlandt made two fishing trips to Northwest Territories, Great Slave Lake. Traveling was always very much enjoyed as was wintering in Arizona with Dorothy visiting their daughter, LuAnn. Mr. Wendlandt always welcomed the kids with dinner mints either from the candy dish or his shirt pocket. He cherished his time spent with his family, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and friends.
