Hello Garrison Family! I will never forget Wes! I go through some of my pictures now and then and there is Wes! with the Twinkle in his eye and the laugh that keeps on going and giving. I still hear it in my head! Thank you Wes, may God continue to Bless you and your Lovely family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so sorry to hear that Wesley has passed.
My name is Pat Veness, maiden name Malone.
My mother was Rita VanSyckle, who was sister to my aunt Marcella Garrison, whom my sister Marcella is named after. Wesley and I were first cousins and I think of him and Jeffrey fondly although I haven't seen them since my mother's funeral. Again, I am so sorry for your loss

Peg and Family, I just found out about the passing of my friend Wes last night. I just don't know what to say...I am at a loss for words! I don't spend a lot of time on Facebook but someone or something told me to go on last night. I am so sorry for your loss. Wes will be missed. I will never forget him and the work and times we shared. Loved him. Sending Blessings and lots of LOVE to you XO

I shall miss the love and laughter of one of the finest men I have ever known. There could be no finer friend. Peg, you have our love and deepest condolences. You are so blessed to have such a loving family to share the circled wagons.

The world will surely miss Wes' laugh and personality in it!! From the moment Cal and I met him, we knew he was a special person. Peg, I know you will miss him so very much. We are here for you if you ever need an escape.

I was very sad to hear of the passing of my beloved opera colleague and friend Wes. We sang together several times with each other in IL Trovatore and Carmen with Regina Opera and the New Rochelle Opera, in La Traviata as well as singing several times in concert together. He was so fun to be around...always cutting up and making people laugh....loved his sense of humor, but most of all his voice...so powerful and commanding presense....such a loss and we had just reconnected on FB as friends....

I am so very sorry for your loss. Wes was a beloved member of Pequonnock Yacht Club and did so much for the Club. He was so well liked by all. My deepest sympathy to the family of Wes. Maria Corenki

My deep condolences to the family of Wes Garrison. By circumstance, I saw a posting of his passing at the Yacht club. As an art director, I worked with Wes, the photographer, many years ago. What a kick he was! Always so fun, I can still hear his laugh today. He made every photo shoot a pleasure and always produced the perfect shot. A beautiful soul!
