Don Wester hired my father John when he retired from the army. My dad was service manager from 1963 until he retired from Wester Vw/Porsche/audi 17 or so years later. Don was always a great influence on our family, from his involvement in hiring and employing dad and helping found the local Porsche club of America, to his accomplishments on the race track.

Don was a mentor and a roll model as he helped me with my first job when I was still in High School. I will always remember with pride the joy I had working there with him and all the wonderful people he had working with him. He will be missed.

i recall Don as a sincere and good man who was devoted to his family and his faith. Having joined the Wester team in 1973, I recall the passion for races he instilled, that generated through the dealership. My condolences to his family and those that feel his loss.

I went to work for Wester Motors in 1963, and worked for and with him until the Dealership was sold. Don was my Boss, Mentor, Friend, and Coach. My 50 year career in Porsche Auto Tech and Management is still going on, due to his Guidance. RIP.

Don was the real deal as a racer, businessman, gentleman, retired director of SCRAMP and a friend. He will truly be missed by many. Condolences to his family.

A true brother of Jesus and the men fortunate enough to share the path with him. I look forward to sharing with him at the banquet table.

Wester Family , Remembering Mr Don visiting Wester VW such a pleasant man. Sending
