WADE, Martin George Wade Sr. (Abstracted from https://www.craigfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Martin-Wade/#!/Obituary) Martin George Wade Sr. was born Nov. 9, 1935, died Apr. 18, 2015. He lived a life full of hard work and sunny days and gathered friends like he caught his fish by the boatload and all were "keepers". His summer days were spent getting up at an ungodly hour to don his hard hat and head to work so he could be home in time to load up his Chris Craft Lancer (the MG Kellie) with the cooler of food prepared by his Jeannie (Banquet Fried Chicken, salami sandwiches, potato, macaroni and cole slaw salads) and of course us kids and mom (and whoever else was around because the more the merrier for Dad) and head out to Short Beach to meet Pop, Aunt Teresa, and Theresa Marie and Laurie. Other days we'd just head over to Pops and swim off the dock, he would lift each one of us over and over again onto the highest piling so we could jump in- never tiring and then chase us all in the water pretending like he was a crab pinching everyone's tushes and setting off waves of laughter- sometimes he'd just sit with us and bait our hooks as we pulled in dozens of snappers, or help us lug buckets heavy with Blue Claws that he would cook up in marinera sauce later that night. He literally lent a hand to everyone- helping Pop rebuild the dock and Uncle Sonny expand his cabin in Pennsylvania, another friend build their deck and was quick to help someone join the union or learn the ropes at work. He was known to "sneak" his kids a $20 or on really good days a $50 and say "don't tell your mother"and send you on your way. He loved to fish entering shark tournaments and once even put a Mako head in the kitchen sink causing Jean to scream so loud and him to bellow with laughter equally loud so the neighbors heard. He also loved to hunt and went twice a year always hoping to bring home the big one- although that was never the most important reason- he just loved spending time with his friends- Sonny and John and Joe. When the Wade's had a party EVERYONE came and stayed to the wee hours sitting at Dad's bar as he poured the drinks and made you laugh with all his stories- always ending the night by loading the 8track with Nat King Cole or his favorite-Frank and singing along "I Did it My Way". He had other "loves"- Cars from his turquoise and white 57 Chevy convertible, to a Cadillac every couple of years- black, silver, blue, black (again) and finally his White Escalade, rum and coke was his drink of choice, he could spend hours playing Portuguese Poker and loved winning big, he'd never turn away a sweet pastry, he was always "putzing" around the house on one project or another (adiorondeck chairs, back scratchers, trivets) and spent even more hours teaching Marty Jr. how to catch and throw the baseball, religiously attending all his games, and in more recent years he found laughter and joy in his grand kids teasing them until they would giggle and say "quit it Pops". But for almost 44 years his greatest love was Jeannie, his wife, who he lost last year and he became a boat without its rudder until he left us to be with her again. We know that he's back with his Jeannie, his parents, Aunt Teresa, his brothers, Joe and all the other friends he lost and we are certain that Marty and Jean are throwing one heck of a party- cheers to you Dad and give our love to Mom.

WALLI, Arne Walli (Abstracted from http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2014/05/founder_of_wallis_restaurant_r.html) FLINT, MI -- With his feet as transportation and two thumbs as fare, Arne Walli began a long trek from the western tip of Lake Superior that landed him in Flint more than seven decades ago. Hitchhiking with a friend to the Windy City to find work at 19, Walli didn’t take a liking to Chicago’s hustle and bustle -- hailing from Wright, Minnesota, with a population of just over 100 to this day -- and kept moving east towards the Vehicle City as his new final destination. “It’s a story he loved to tell,” said daughter-in-law Gloria Walli, seated inside a booth at Firkin and Fox, in the same building as the remaining Walli’s East Restaurant on Center Road. “He bragged about it all the time. He said he traveled 1,000 miles.” Arne Walli, age 93, who died Thursday, May 8, 2014 after a long bout with Parkinson’s Disease, left a large footprint on the Genesee County business community after migrating from Wright, where his parents Sophia and Jacob Walli had 12 children and owned a dairy farm, raising 50 head of cattle and various crops on the rich soil. “He also was proud of his five acres of strawberries he ended up having to plant, pick the strawberries, sell the strawberries and actually raise enough money to build a barn one summer,” said his son, Ken Walli. “I think they were like five cents a quart at the time, so it took quite a few strawberries.” A Cromwell High School graduate, Arne played basketball in his high school days, heading to the state finals one year with three of his cousins on the same roster from the postage-stamp sized town. Following graduation and the trek to Flint, Arne found work at a gas station in the area, found a job in the truck plant at Chevy in the Hole before moving onto AC Spark Plug where he operated automatic screw machines for a number of years. But it wasn’t just work that Arne found in Flint. Gloria said Ken met Frances -- his wife of 61 years before her death in 2005 at 83 following a prolonged battle, including years of chemotherapy treatments, with ovarian cancer -- while at Beecher Gardens. “Her mom owned Beecher Gardens over on the North End,” said Gloria. “It used to be the happening spot in Flint, and he would go in there and listen to the music and she worked there and her sister worked there and her brother worked there. They were the band.” Ken said his mother played the violin, aunt played accordion and uncle on the drums, but they also both ended up working at AC. The couple married on Aug. 20, 1944 in Flint, during the final year of World War II. “He was in World War II right after they were first married,” recalled Gloria, missing Ken’s birth at Hurley by one day while trying to dash home for the special event. “He bragged about driving General (Dwight D.) Eisenhower, escorting him.” After coming back home and finding work on the line at AC, Ken said there was a change in his father’s mentality. “I think my dad kind of had it in his mind that he liked getting into business on his own and he really didn’t like working in the shop,” said Ken. The couple scratched together their savings in 1950 to open up Richardson Root Beer Stand on (5414) North Saginaw Street in Genesee Township. Ken said the drive-up stand with car hops and no inside seating was similar to an A&W restaurant of the era, and he would bring friends by for a bite and drink, but also began taking money as a child with his brother Bob, standing on a milk crate to reach the cash register. “They had some good root beer, good orange drink and we had the hot dogs and hamburgers to go with it,” he smiled. With a business mind churning all the time, Gloria said Arne would sell Christmas trees outside the stand when it was closed during the winter months. Arne continued to work at AC for a few more years, until the business was able to gain enough traction to quit his job at the plant and focus all his energy into the restaurant. When it came time to renovate, Ken said the building wasn’t torn down, but moved off the spot. “In 1958, he actually moved that building off the foundation and built the drive-in restaurant where actually you could come inside,” he said, with the structure winding up in another community. “I think we had seating for about 80 to 90 people inside and also we had curb service on the outside with car hops.” Arne and Frances further expanded in 1961, purchasing a garage to open a supper club featuring her recipes on the same property as the drive-in. “It was an old serving station that the guy did car repairs in,” said Ken, with a remodel and addition coming six years later, but it eventually succumbed to a large fire in 1980. “They bought that, remodeled it and made that the supper club.” Not only did the location serve as a place to grab some food, but it was in the heart of the cruising path for teenagers at the time. “That was the big thing back in the 60s,” said Ken of cars streaming up and down Saginaw, with Gloria adding, “It was like Happy Days.” “They drove from Colonel's to Walli’s and to A&W downtown,” she said. People would back in and line up for miles and miles down Saginaw Street.” Ken recalled, “They would find a parking space so they could watch the girls drive by, to which Gloria laughed and said, “Girls and guys. Just about anyone over 50 would know about that, because that’s where they’d hang out. Everything was safe. It was a fun time.” Even years later, Ken said, “It’s surprising how many people we’ve talked to that said something like oh, I met my wife at Walli’s driving around.” The business expanded in 1964, with the new Walli’s West opening on West Pierson Road in Mt. Morris Township and Walli’s Scandia Hall built in 1969, across from the supper club. When the original supper club was a victim of fire in 1980, Arne built a new version behind Walli’s West. Not satisfied with just offering food, Walli had two laundromats and began to offer lodging for travelers to the area, building a hotel in 1976 to go along with the restaurants, along with a second location in 1972 at Walli’s East, where the current restaurant stands on Center Road today next to the Super 8 motel still owned by the family. It was around the same time Arne became involved in forming the Flint Area Tourist and Convention Council, on which he served as an emeritus member until his death and a member of the Walli family has sat on since its inception. The Walli family continued to build and still operates the Wingate Hotel on I-475 near Hill Road in Grand Blanc Township, managed by Ron Walli, Ken’s son -- which Gloria said Arne “was very involved in that too. He went there every day to inspect.” After Frances became ill, Arne slowly began to step away from his involvement in the businesses. When the couple took time away from work, they would travel in their motor home, crisscrossing the country with family before eventually buying a second house in North Fort Myers, FL where they would spend a few months in the winter. The family would also gather at a cousin’s home in the area, where Gloria said Arne’s competitive juices were still flowing, willing to take on anyone in horseshoes, volleyball, softball, but also sitting down and playing cards of any kind he learned growing up during the bitter winter months as a child in Minnesota. “Any time he got around anybody that wanted to play cards, he was there,” said Gloria, up to his final days at Cranberry Park, an assisted living facility in Clio. “In fact, right before he passed away, the Saturday before he died we were playing Shanghai rummy with him. He was still sharp.” Even with all the good memories for the family, an empty spot remained at the stools entering Walli's Sunday where Arne would sit and chat with customers from any background, share a laugh and smile over a plate of food. "I think he had a great impact on the community. I think at 93, you're ready for them to let go, because they're suffering and they're in so much pain," said Gloria, holding back tears. "But it can't replace the loss you feel. He's in a better place, but we still feel the loss." Arne Walli is survived by his sons, Ken (Gloria) of Grand Blanc, Bob (Sandy) of Grand Rapids; five grandchildren, Tim (Jacquie) Walli, Tami (Steve) Wolfram, Ron (Erin) Walli, Bob Walli and Vicki Walli; seven great-grandchildren, Makenzie, Lance, Payton, Reese, Sydney, Shea and Avery; two brothers, Sulo (Delores) and Ray (Donna). He was preceded in death by his wife Fran, sisters, Ida. Laura, Alma Bordwell and Jennie Waisanen, brothers, Eino, Arthur, Henry, Ernie and Carl. A funeral service will be Tuesday, May 13, 2014 at the Swartz Funeral Home, 1225 West Hill Road, followed by a private burial in Montrose Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Parkinson's Foundation.

"Woody" Wardlow, age 90, a newspaper editor and journalism teacher for 41 years - including four at the Journal- Standard - died peacefully on June 28, 2014 in Sarasota, FL. Born in Freeport, Illinois on March 5, 1924, the son of Samuel and Jessie Kryder Wardlow, he graduated from Freeport High School in 1941. Woody worked as a supervisor at Micro Switch for two years before entering the Army Air Corps in World War II, attaining the rank of second lieutenant (1943-45, navigator/bombardier). Woody graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Madison in 1948 with a degree in journalism and became wire editor, and later state editor, of the Journal-Standard. He married the former Rosemary Fonken of Freeport in 1949. In 1952 the couple moved to Buffalo, where Woody started at the Evening News as a copy editor and in 1969 became managing editor. Woody won Page One awards for headline writing in 1958 and 1959. During 10 years in that top post he was active in a wide range of civic and service organizations and a leader in national, state and regional professional journalism associations. He lectured at several local colleges and universities and served on their journalism and advisory committees. Woody was adjunct professor at the State University of Buffalo, St. Bonaventure University and Canisius College. In 1976, Woody's inspiring bicentennial article, "A Love Affair for 1976" was included in the nation's Congressional Record. At age 55 he took early retirement from the News to go into teaching and writing as a second career. In his letter of resignation, Woody wrote, "I have loved every minute of this work." Dedicated to journalism, Woody held the Spencer Chair in journalism at Syracuse University in 1980 and then became associate director of the American Press Institute in Reston, Virginia, leading 60 seminars for editors and publishers from all over the world. While at API he wrote "Effective Writing and Editing: A Guidebook for Newspapers," which had five printings. He took his second retirement in 1989, and in 1990 moved to Sarasota where he and Rosemary enjoyed spending time with their many friends, and were avid golfers and deeply involved in civic life. Woody and Rosemary were happily married for 64 years (anniversary September 24), with two children: daughter Ann (with four children and one grandchild) and daughter Jane (with two children). Woody deeply loved his daughters, his grandchildren, and his new great-granddaughter Nina, and he was overjoyed to know that two more great-grandchildren will be born later this year. Woody will be missed by his brother, Merle, with whom he loved to reminisce, and sisters-in-law Donna and Ruth, in addition to his great extended family. The kind and caring attention provided by Rosemary's brother and sister-in-law, Dr. Joseph and Betty Thro, has been very comforting to both Woody and Rosemary. Woody also enjoyed the company of Rosemary's brother, Arch Fonken, who has visited over the years. At Woody's request, his ashes will be interred in Section C1C-6, Row A, Site 1 at the Sarasota National Cemetery for veterans. In lieu of flowers, a donation to The Lustgarten Foundation, devoted to finding a cure for pancreatic cancer (www.lustgarten.org), or to Tidewell Hospice, who kindly cared for Woody through this illness (www.tidewell.org/hospice) would be appreciated.

WESTBROOK, Shelby Westbrook (Abstracted from information sent to Elmer by one of his genealogy friends - Brenda Louise Hudson) Shelby Westbrook passed away quietly (Aug 17, 2016) in Chicago, IL. Shelby Westbrook was born in Marked Tree, a small town in Arkansas. When his parents passed away, he moved in with his brother in Toledo, Ohio. In March 1943, shortly after he graduated from high school, Westbrook enrolled in aviation cadet training at Tuskegee Army Air Field. (He’d never been in an airplane, but he knew he didn’t want to be in the infantry. Westbrook finished pilot training in February 1944, and was sent to Selfridge Air Field near Detroit, MI, for training in single-engine fighter planes like the P-39 Air Cobra. 2nd Lt. Westbrook graduated from pilot training at Tuskegee Army Airfield on February 8, 1944 (class 44-B) and was attached to the 99th Fighter Squadron, which had the distinction of being one of the first all Black units formed by the Army Air Corps. In July 1944, after further training in South Carolina, Westbrook was shipped to Italy with the 99th Fighter Squadron of the 332nd Fighter Group. On R&R, Westbrook went to Naples, Rome, and Vatican City, where his group visited the Sistine Chapel and met the Pope. As a combat pilot, he was even more widely-traveled; he flew 60 missions over 12 countries in Europe. On his 31st mission, his P- 51 Mustang developed engine trouble, forcing Westbrook and his wingman to crash-land in Yugoslavia. They were rescued by a group of Marshall Tito’s Partisans and delivered to a group of British intelligence officers, led by Randolph Churchill and author Evelyn Waugh. About one month later, Westbrook was back on duty. On a strafing mission over southern France, targeting radar stations one day ahead of a planned invasion, Westbrook believed he saw a fellow pilot, Richard Macon, crash into a building near Montpelier. It happened quickly, though, and the U.S. had no detailed records of it. More than fifty years later, while doing research with French-language materials, Westbrook was able to confirm that Macon had indeed crashed into a building – a German command outpost with more than 40 officers inside. For his service in Europe, Westbrook earned the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal with 5 Clusters, the Presidential Unit Citation, the 15th Air Force Certificate of Valor and 5 Battle Stars, with an air-to-air victory over a German Me-109 fighter in October 1944. Promoted to 1st Lt., he served in the 332nd Fighter Group from July 1944 to May 1945. Total service: 4 years active, 6 years reserve. Westbrook returned to the United States in June 1945. His plan was to attend an engineering school, but he was turned down – the director wouldn’t accept black students. Mr. Westbrook obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electronics and was employed as an Electrical Engineer at W.R. Grace & Co., a major manufacturing facility that made packaging machines. There, Mr. Westbrook designed various types of electronic control circuits and is listed as the co-inventor of a revolutionary patented processing system that utilized a controlled vacuum as the primary packaging system that is still in use today. Shelby Westbrook took a trip in 2007 to Washington, DC to accept a Congressional Medal from our Government. He frequently is asked to speak at colleges and corporate functions. He is active in his Tuskegee chapter and has co-authored two books regarding the Tuskegee Airmen. His message for youth is: “Turn off the television & video set, life is not a game. Learn to read and develop your abilities with a skill or a profession!”

WHITACRE, H. Lee Whitacre (Abstracted from the May 16, 2014 Toledo Blade) H. Lee Whitacre, a longtime farmer who founded a trucking company heralded for its growth in the 1990s, died May 5 in Heritage Corner Health Care Campus, Bowling Green. He was 90. He had pneumonia, his wife, Margaret Ann Whitacre, said. Mr. Whitacre grew corn, wheat, and soybeans on the farm where he grew up in Wood County's Milton Township. The trucking company initially was an offshoot. "He was born and bred a farmer," said his wife, who was an office manager for Whitacre Trucking Inc. in Portage, OH. "He retired from farming at 77, but he retired from the trucking company at 82. He enjoyed the people. We had so many. I worked there right along with him, and our sons. He didn't have a hobby, and he built it from scratch, and it went from nothing to a large company. "By 1993 when his son Gary was president, the trucking firm employed about 100 full-time, reported annual sales of $6.4 million, and was on Inc. magazine's list of the 500 fastest growing companies. Mr. Whitacre was a founder of the intermodal firm, Roadlink USA, which later was sold. Whitacre Logistics, a company begun several years ago by son Gary - who had been president of Whitacre Trucking and a Roadlink executive - made the Inc. fastest- growing list in 2013. Mr. Whitacre "was immensely proud," his wife said. "He was a very humble man, and he didn't want much credit for anything, but he was proud of his sons and what they accomplished. "He was born Oct. 18, 1923, to Myrtle and Harry Whitacre in Weston, OH. He was a 1941 graduate of the former Milton Township High School. He enlisted in the Army during World War II and was a truck driver attached to the 82nd Airborne Division. "That's where it all started," his wife said. He landed in France weeks after the D-Day invasion and delivered gasoline and other supplies to troops. He resumed farming after the war and several years later bought a truck to haul grain. Eventually, he and his son Dan farmed together, the family bought more trucks, and started hauling freight. Under the oversight of son Gary, the firm in the late 1980s expanded into the burgeoning intermodal field - transporting goods that were shipped by rail, for instance, to a final destination. Sons Dan and Steve also were involved. "It was quite a family affair," his wife said. The couple took several trips to Europe and Hawaii. Surviving are his wife, Margaret Ann Whitacre, whom he married July 23, 1949; sons, Edward, Daniel, Steven, Gary, and Kenneth; 10 grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. A celebration of life is set for Saturday in Nazareth Hall near Grand Rapids. Arrangements are by the Rodenberger Funeral Home, Deshler, OH. The family suggests tributes to St. Louis School in Custar, OH, or Cherry Street Mission in Toledo.

Jean's love of 'The Old Homeplace' resulted in an essay that brought acclaim from many teachers. As with many of her generation, the impact of war plus family needs caused a change of plan while in college. Her future husband was a US Navy Signalman and 'Beach Party' frogman with the Underwater Demolition Teams (UDT), precursor to the Navy Seals. Leo creating many life-long memories for Jean, with one of the first being an unannounced flight under a bridge in a biplane he piloted. Jean and Leo moved the family from Ohio to West Virginia, then Orlando. FL, and back to Ohio. Another move to Florida brought the family to Tampa, then Lakeland, and ultimately settling in beautiful Sarasota, FL. Jean deeply loved anything related to the ocean, from fishing and boating to beach sunsets while enjoying a chicken dinner. In her early years, Jean worked as a telephone company operator, then a court reporter where she also edited and typed a book the judge wrote. As a young mother of three, Jean became an 'Avon Lady,' with root beer stand visits when the kids traveled with her. Jean also worked as an insurance business office manager, but her greatest roles were that of caring and supportive spouse, and being the consummate loving mother. Jean was a shining example of one giving unconditional love, and always put her family first with a powerful passion. Jean gave all that was within her to and for her family, from beginning to end.

WILLENBERG, Samuel Willenberg (Abstracted from Internet sources) JERUSALEM – Samuel Willenberg, the last survivor of Treblinka, the Nazi death camp where 875,000 people were systematically murdered, has died in Israel at the age of 93. Only 67 people are known to have survived the camp, fleeing in a revolt shortly before it was destroyed. Treblinka holds a notorious place in history as perhaps the most vivid example of the "Final Solution," the Nazi plan to exterminate Europe's Jews. Unlike at other camps, where some Jews were assigned to forced labor before being killed, nearly all Jews brought to Treblinka were immediately gassed to death. Only a select few -- mostly young, strong men like Willenberg, who was 20 at the time-- were spared from immediate death and assigned to maintenance work instead. On Aug. 2, 1943, a group of Jews stole some weapons, set fire to the camp and headed to the woods. Hundreds fled, but most were shot and killed by Nazi troops in the surrounding mine fields or captured by Polish villagers who returned them to Treblinka. "The world cannot forget Treblinka," Willenberg told The Associated Press in a 2010 interview. He described how he was shot in the leg as he climbed over bodies piled at the barbed wire fence and catapulted over. He kept running, ignoring dead friends in his path. He said his blue eyes and "non-Jewish" look allowed him to survive in the countryside before arriving in Warsaw and joining the Polish underground. After the war Willenberg moved to Israel and became a surveyor for the Housing Ministry. Later in life, he took up sculpting to describe his experiences. His bronze statues depicted Jews standing on a train platform, a father removing his son's shoes before entering the gas chambers, a young girl having her head shaved, and prisoners removing bodies. "I live two lives, one is here and now and the other is what happened there," Willenberg said. "It never leaves me. It stays in my head. It goes with me always." His two sisters were killed at Treblinka. He described his survival as "chance, sheer chance." The Nazis and their collaborators killed about 6 million Jews during the Holocaust. The death toll at Treblinka was second only to Auschwitz -- a prison camp where more than a million people died in gas chambers or from starvation, disease and forced labor. His daughter said he died on Friday. He is survived by a daughter and grandchildren.

He lived a full life, born Nov. 12, 1932 in Florida, made a family in NY and moved back to Florida. He accomplished things that no one else will ever be able to claim... Like owning the very first Funny Car in the state of New York. Co-owned a cottage on a lake in Ontario, Canada (built by hand). Owned both Eddie's Chicken Coop locations in Rochester, NY, (home of the Boss Sauce), and more. For me, through it all... He's my Dad. I have some of his ways, his hair, and his sarcasm. He taught me to work hard and to do the job right. I love him and for all of you, family or friend, who feel the same, I wanted to let you know he's gone & share a bit of his legacy. And for those who didn't know, he gave his life to Christ. You will be missed... Willie Andrew Wilson Sr. -Aka- Dad, Pops, Brother, Uncle Bubba, Mr. Willie and Gramps...

WINKELMANN, Richard Winkelmann (Abstracted from the internet August 27, 2012) Richard Winkelmann, a Mayo Clinic physician and researcher who helped meld the disciplines of dermatology and pathology, died of pancreatic cancer Aug. 16 at his home in Rochester, Minn. He was 88. "Dad was at the cusp of modernizing dermatology, taking it to a real clinical science," said his son Rich Winkelmann, of Marine on St. Croix. Winkelmann was born in Akron, Ohio, where his father was a research chemist in the rubber industry. In 1943, during his second year at the University of Akron, he was drafted into the Army, which soon recognized his scientific acumen and pulled him out of basic training for medical training. He was sent to the University of Michigan for premed, then to Marquette University Medical School in Milwaukee. By the time he was finished, the war was over, so he spent his service time at public health centers in Knoxville, TN, and Birmingham, AL. In the early 1950s, he was working as a resident at the Mayo Clinic and toward his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota. "Dermatology interested him greatly; he felt the skin was an underappreciated and understudied organ. Winkelmann became an early researcher in that area, "studying skin diseases under the microscope and creating the taxonomy of dermatology in English and three other languages." In 1956, his Ph.D. completed, he joined the Mayo staff and chaired its department of dermatology from 1970 to 1975. He wrote six books and more than 800 scholarly articles. Dr. Jennifer McNiff, president of the American Society of Dermatopathology, wrote that Winkelmann was "a leader and visionary ... [who] was instrumental in describing the diagnosis and treatment of innumerable unique conditions, including cutaneous extravascular necrotizing granuloma," a condition commonly called Winkelmann granuloma. He and Anne Robertson, an artist from South St. Paul whom he met in Rochester, were married in 1952 and raised four children. He was ever industrious, his son said. "Once I saw Dad mowing the lawn in a suit and tie" before a party or work, he said. "He said, 'I have a half an hour, might as well not waste it.'" In 1994, Winkelmann retired from the Mayo Clinic and began spending winters in Fountain Hills, Ariz., and summers on the St. Croix. He took up doing research at Mayo Clinic Scottsdale and teaching at Arizona State University. Four years ago, he and Anne moved to Charter House, an assisted-living facility in Rochester. In addition to his wife and Rich, he is survived by another son, John of Cincinnati; two daughters, Lisa Speltz of Guilford, Conn., and Susan Winkelmann of Minneapolis, and four grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m. Sept. 6 at Charter House in Rochester.

WISE, Wayne Wise (Abstracted from an article from the Aug 10, 2010 JOC.com) Wayne Wise, who with his wife Donna founded Western Express, one of the nation's top 50 trucking companies, died July 31 at the age of 60. Wise died in his sleep, according to the Nashville Business Journal. The cause of his death was undetermined. Wise had heart surgery two years ago. The Nashville, TN-based truckload carrier the Wises launched in 1991 had nearly $440 million in revenue last year, according to estimates from SJ Consulting. It ranked at 39 on the Journal of Commerce's list of top 50 trucking companies ranked by revenue, and was the 18th largest truckload carrier in 2009. Paul L. Wieck, a long-time Western Express executive and American Freightways and Roadway Express veteran, was named interim president. When Wise started his career in 1971, trucking was still a highly regulated industry. He grasped opportunities offered by deregulation to launch trucking businesses. Not all of those opportunities worked out well -- one of his first attempts to launch a trucking business ended in bankruptcy. But Western Express prospered. Wise got his start in shipping, working as a traffic manager for Carrier Corp. From 1974 through 1980 he was a freight agent for Ryder Truck Lines and T.I.M.E.-DC. In 1981 he founded trucking company Expressco, serving as its president until 1991. Expressco declared bankruptcy in 1988. The case was closed in 1997. Western Express grew throughout the 1990s but shifted into higher gear in the last decade, with revenue rising from less than $50 million in 2000 to $594 million in 2008. Its sales fell about 26 percent last year as the recession pummeled trucking. The company, which contemplated an initial public offering earlier in the decade, raised $285 million in April by selling eight- year securities. It used the fund to pay off its debt and to upgrade its 2,500-tractor fleet with new trucks. Western Express ordered 900 Freightliner Cascadia tractors in May.

WOODS, Tyrone Snowden Woods (Abstracted from http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2012/09/portland_native_former_navy_se.html) It was about 10 a.m. Thursday when Cheryl Croft Bennett received the news every parent dreads: Her child was dead. Bennett’s only son, Tyrone Snowden Woods, age 41, was among four people killed in an attack Tuesday night on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. He died while working on a private security detail for the U.S. State Department. Woods, a Portland native and Oregon City High School graduate, retired from the Navy SEALs in 2010. The State Department identified the others killed as Ambassador Chris Stevens, security staffer Glen A. Doherty and information manager Sean Smith. Doherty also was a former Navy SEAL and paramedic who had protected Americans in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. Bennett was visiting friends in Bend when she got the call from her former husband and Woods’ father, Charles E. Woods. She returned home to Oregon City to catch a flight Thursday night to Washington DC, where she will receive her son’s body. "I felt like a wounded animal, like someone severed a part of me," Bennett said when she heard the news. "Even though these guys are in a dangerous occupation, you never think you'll get that phone call," she later added. "But then it happens." Woods is survived by his wife, Dorothy; three sons, Tyrone Jr., Hunter and Kai; and other relatives. Woods' wife declined to comment Thursday when reached on the phone. He was born in Portland and spent his youth in locations around Oregon and Washington, Bennett said. The family included a younger sister, Tiffany Woods. Woods graduated from Oregon City High School in 1989. He competed on the high school wrestling team and placed third in the state as a senior in the 142-pound weight class, his mother said. In 1990, Woods joined the U.S. Navy and moved to California. In doing so, he declined a partial wrestling scholarship at Clackamas Community College, Bennett said. "He was always looking for a challenge and always looking to push himself," she said. "He didn't feel like he would get that here.” During the course of his career, Bennett said she knew he had assignments in Somalia and Southeast Asia. "He would never tell me straight out where he had been or what he was doing," she said. "But every once in a while, I would name a place, and he would smile or nod." Woods had been protecting American diplomatic personnel since 2010, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a statement Thursday. His posts have included the Middle East, Central America and other areas. Known as "'Rone," to his friends and colleagues, Woods was also a registered nurse and a certified paramedic. "He had the hands of a healer as well as the arm of a soldier," the statement said of retired Navy SEAL. Woods' family described him as dedicated, tenacious, clever, focused and good-humored person, who took pride in serving his country. But he was also low-key and reserved, Bennett said, and would likely brush off notions that he was a hero. "He did what he loved to do and he did it well," she said. "There's not much more he wanted than that."

WYNNE, Lawrence Samuel Wynne Jr. (Abstracted from https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/timesunion/obituary.aspx?n=lawrence-samuel- wynne&pid=174106628&fhid=6053) Lawrence Samuel Wynne, Jr., (a.k.a. The Preacher), of Jacksonville, Florida passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 7, 2015 at the age of 81. He was born Oct. 18, 1933. Lawrence was a proud veteran of the U.S. Marines. The strength and discipline he gained as a Marine never left him, and as a result, he would always say, I’m an Ex-Marine, I can handle anything. He also was a 32nd Degree Mason of Masonic Lodge #78 in Largo, FL for 40 years. After his retirement, he moved to Dunnellon, Florida on the Withlacoochee River where he pursued some of his many hobbies including fishing, hunting, playing poker, healing women (hence his nickname The Preacher ), spending time at the Elks Lodge, and running karaoke night at J.R.’s Pub. He was loved for his sense of humor, his positive outlook and sharing his many words of wisdom, including, If you aren’t havin’ fun, it’s your own damn fault. He is survived by his son, Lawrence S. Wynne, III; two sisters, Dorothy Godwin Neeley and Rita Godwin; nieces, Shirley Smith, Rita Meyers, and Erin LaVigne; nephews, Carlton Godwin and John Godwin, III. We will truly miss our Ex- Marine and will end this brief summary by sharing what he would say, That’s my story and I’m stickin to it. A service to celebrate Lawrence s life will be at Hardage-Giddens Funeral Home, 1701 Beach Blvd., Jacksonville Beach. He will be interred in Section 17W, Row C, Site 23 at Jacksonville National Cemetery.
