In an interview with The Buffalo News in July 1999, he said, "The band comes first -- besides my church." So dedicated was Wendt that he kept playing the cymbals in a wheelchair during the last three years of parades, because a back injury kept him from marching fast enough to keep up with his band mates.

Then the arthritis set in." A Sanborn native, Wendt attended local elementary schools and Trott Vocational High School in Niagara Falls. He worked at Hoover's Dairy in Sanborn, and then at A.E. Gombert Lumber Co. in North Tonawanda before taking a job as a mill worker and truck driver at Sanborn Milling Co. for more than 20 years. In later years, he delivered flowers every spring for Sanborn Greenhouse. Wendt served six years on the fire company board of directors. When he became an exempt member, he took up fire police duties and served as fire police captain from 1981 to 1996. On Jan. 11, 1992, the Town of Lewiston presented him its first firemen's incentive award. Wendt was a longtime member of St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Wheatfield.
