Wellington was born in Tanzania, Africa.
It was while he attended college that he met Barbara and they eventually married and finally moved to Ridgefield. Wellington was a Professional Engineer and specialized in civil engineering/water. He spent many years working for various school systems in NY; educating the children, school staff and community about the need to protect our water sources.
Wellington was a true family man; he cherished both his and Barbara’s families and was in constant contact with them sharing joys and sorrows. He was enormously proud of his children, their spouses and especially his beloved grandchildren: Joseph and Isabella Carvalho and Niall, Reece and Isaac Tennant. He valued his friends and enjoyed keeping in touch with school friends, neighbors and those made through work.
