Wendt is remembered fondly for his character's humor and the warmth he brought to his relationships, with a statement from his family expressing the deep loss felt by those close to him and requesting privacy during this time.
George was a lovely guy. It’s still odd to speak of him in a past tense right now, but we just found out yesterday morning.
He was hysterical. For 11 years, America waited for him to walk into a bar every Thursday night and say something funny.
He sort of just loped across that floor and ordered that beer and said something that set the world on fire. He was extraordinary.
