We are family members of the Wendler family. We heard many stories about Jody before meeting him, before he married Erica. We liked him immensely immediately and understood why Erica fell in love with him so quickly. Jody was such a genuinely GOOD man. We knew him
as a GOOD husband and father who loved Erica, Jack and Emma with his entire being. We knew him as a GOOD man with incredible standards . His honest character was such that you don't find in many people today. He was kind, gentle , compassionate and in spite of being so intelligent and accomplised, he was humble. We are deeply saddened for Erica, Jack , Emma and the rest of Jody's family. To lose him - such a fine, fine guy, so young is a tragic loss. We are so very sorry for the loss of your beloved Jody.
With deep hearfelt sadness,
Tony and Pat Hochschild
