Wesley E. Beckwith

Rest in peace "Omaha". We had some farout times at NWMSU as roomies in 222. You know, the room where we painted the Darkside of the Moon on the wall. We had a groovy circle of friends in the Delta Zig Zag´s including me, you, Kleiner, Luke, Sam, Ronnie, Gundy, Bennet, Cheryl and others. Lots of concerts, Pure Prarie League, Qucksilver Messenger , and the nite we were coming back from the Leonard Skynard concert and came upon the apartment fire. We got out and quickly became firemen that...

I met Wes, (and Steve and Terry) around 1980 at a UP Railroad project in Hinkle, Or. Not sure what made me think of him tonight- a lot of unusual thoughts during this time stuck at home.

Wes was indeed a great guy. Sorry to hear of his "taking the A train".

Well Wes, It's been 7 years since you took the "A Train" (my Dad's phrase) and headed out. We will miss your lively and enlivening presence at our summer gatherings. You may have heard about Covid-19. Because of that plague (and a few others), we're meeting separately this year for the BKT summer reunion. We'll be playing golf at separate locations this year and sharing recipes rather than our customary family feed. I hope the fishing and hunting are good where you are. Hopefully the...

You are greatly missed. I know you always helped care for the folks and siblings. And you continue to watch over your family. Love you always.

He was fun, funny, tender with dogs and children, attentive to fish and game. Wes often brought out the best in his family and friends. Who's going to fill his big fun-loving shoes?
