So sorry to learn of Wes leaving us when I went to the senior center yesterday to dance. He was a gentleman and kindhearted. He attended a Matter of Balance class years ago and shared his nautical knots with the instructors. Bless God for his earthly life and we will reunite in Heaven.

Dear Anna & Wes, Jr:
I served with Wes for many years in the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Wes was an inspiration to all and a dedicated member of our flotilla who excelled at teaching public boating safety classes and marlinspike seamanship. He touched a lot of people both within and outside the Auxiliary. Wes was a true resource and I valued his support and counsel. Wes' passing represents the end of an era. He will be missed.

Anna & Wes Jr.
I served with Wes Sr. in the Coast Guard Auxiliary in Flotilla 7-10 and then in 24-08 until his retirement. We will miss him and all his rope work. At the Division 24 Change of watch Saturday Night his passing was marked and discussed. Many in that room were recipients of his heaving line and other fancy work he did. I discussed his acheivments with one of the active duty CG Officers that attended. I expect to attend the Funeral Tuesday.

Dear Anika,
We would like to express our deepest sympathy with your loss. We were blessed to know Eugene personally and we will miss him as well. For us Christians despite knowing that our loved-one has completed his mission and met our Savior it is not a lesser sorrow; it is still hard to realize and accept that he is not with us. May our Lord console you and help to live through this difficult time. We are with you in our prayers.

Milá Anika,
S bolesou v srdci sme sa dozvedeli, e Eugena si Pán povolal k sebe. Odiiel lovek, na ktorého ste sa mohli spoahnú. Vyrovna sa s touto stratou potrvá istý as, aby sa zacelila taká veká rana. Tým, e sme poznali Eugena osobne, nás to tie hlboko zasiahlo. Prijmite úprimnú sústras vo Vaom nesmiernom zármutku.
