CHICAGO (WGN) — At 92nd and Bell on Chicago's South Side, we found the intersection where everyone knows his name, and the honorary George Wendt Way made its debut.

Sunday served as the day when locals in the Beverly neighborhood gathered with city officials to officially dedicate the stretch of Bell Avenue between 91st Street and 92nd Place as "George Wendt Way."

Wendt, who grew up in the Beverly neighborhood, died back in May.

Wendt's brother, Paul, and sisters, Marti Wendt and Kathy Wendt-Sudeikis, were among numerous family members in attendance at the ceremony on Sunday.

"We love this community, absolutely love it. Couldn’t be happier," Marti Wendt said.

"George has become loved by the whole world, and we couldn’t be prouder," said Erin Muldoon Stetson, Wendt's niece.
