Youl be missed...in life & the bus..nice knowing you..good luck in the afterlife..

I knew Wes as "Grandpa" Wes when he was at Winzler school and I will miss him very much He was a good man.

I was so sad to here Wesley passed away! I new of him from the buses for like 12 years atleast or more! He was always so kind & welcoming to everyone!

I ride the eureka buses, and I've seen Wes, but I didn't know him or talk to him. I remember seeing him on the buses every day. He would talk and swap stories with other bus riders and I would listen to his stories. I didn't know him, but I miss him already.

Love you wes!

Sad to hear about Wes's passing. What a gentle soul is was and always had time to chat. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to all of his family who were the center of his world.

Learned a lot from Wes at the park and he was a pleasure to work with. Good friend since 1962 and was a pleasant surprise when he returned from Mexico with his family. Enjoyed seeing him at the senior center and around town, always having pleasant conversations about our fun times at Sequoia Park.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
