Wellington will be greatly missed by so many, including the employees at the Bank. Alesia and Rhae, my thoughts and prayers are with you in this sad time. I pray God offers you as much comfort as possible. It's never easy, but I hope He helps ease your pain. I will greatly miss how much he loved my nail art! What a sweet, sweet man. Much love to you and your family.

Alesia,
After working with Comanch several years at Letterkenny, I must say I have never meet a person as warm and enjoying as him. Always in a cheerful mood and would do anything for anyone. He will be missed immensely by everyone. All our prayers and thoughts are with you.
