Wendell was a seventy-five year member of the First Presbyterian Church, serving as a deacon and a ruling elder. He was also a member of the Lions Club and was a long time member of the I.O.O.F Lodge, where he attained the level of District Deputy Grand Master. Wendell established a seed business for thirty five years in the Lake Park area. He enjoyed building and flying model airplanes.

Wendell was proud of Lake Park and its farming traditions. He was the first Grand Marshall of Lake Park's annual Farmers Appreciation Day Parade in 2005.
