I love you Big Wes. You were a father figure to myself as well as your precious girl Deja. You were the first to feed her and you just saved her life on Sunday when she choked. You are so important to all of us. I can not believe you are no longer in the other room or at work. I can not believe you will never walk into the house again or even aggravate me with your little jokes. There will never be a day that goes by where I don't think of you and miss you tremendously. My daughter misses her PaPa.

Oh,where to start?I've been associated with"Elvis", as I often jokingly referred to him because of the head full of well groomed hair of which he said was pure jealously( I am nearing total baldness) for over 16 years. We started as co-workers and soon became friends, mostly because Wes liked to talk and I liked to listen. We often shared our trials and tribulations as machinists, husbands and fathers.Along with big brother Mike, we over the years had very enjoyable fishing trips not too often ending in successful fishing but always in great camaraderie and relaxation, which we referred to as "Salt Water Therapy". I could sit here and go on and on all night but I'm going to save the best of our times together as memories of Wes that I will cherish for eternity.
To Sheila, you were a wonderful addition to Wes' life when he needed you most. As his friend, I am grateful to you for giving him so much happiness. To Wes and James, let it be known that your father loved you very much and I wish the best for both of you just as your father did. As for Mike and Donna, I never heard a negative word spoken from Wes' lips about either of you, so you must have made him very proud to be your sibling.
This world has lost a wonderful, marvelous human being and Heaven has gained an angel that was put here on Earth temporarily to make so many of us happy. Now he sits at the right hand of God and I will miss him so very much. Wes will be forever in my heart. -
