My dear Dee and Lucia:

Dear Dee and Lucia,

I was sorry to learn of the passing of Wes. I have such fond memories of the times our families spent together when Lucia, Cindy and I were children. Mom is here in Visalia with me. You are in our prayers. Wes was such a kind and loving husband, father and friend. My father Orin had great respect for Wes as a geologist and friend.
