Time goes by very quickly, but the memories of Wes are still so strong and vivid, I believe it is because he was such a strong and friendly person to all who met and knew him. I loved his sense of humor,his warm smile and his dry wit..My guess is that he is looking down at northside dr and probably wishing that he had been here for the storm; it would have been an opportunity for him to help neighbors in any way he could,,,Wes, I think of you often and know that you are safe in the arms of our God Almighty,,,,We miss you,Tim Dempsey

Dear Carol and family,we are so sorry for the loss of Wes, it is hard to imagine northside drive without Wes"s constant presence in trying to help some one of his neighbors with any given problem,he always had a beautiful smile,that quick wit and a special caring for all those he met,,,i suppose by now he may possibly be giving St Peter some special help and guidance for that great race in the sky,,we will always think of you Wes and remember you as the very best,,our thoughts and prayers,,,tim and jim Dempsey
