May 13, 2011 I met Wes after him and Karen got together.I didn't know Wes well but the few times I was around him, it was like he was an old friend. I've known Karen since high school. Never met a couple that fit together like they did. You could just see the love in their eyes when they looked at each other. They remind me alot of me and my husband. So I know how Karen feels. My heart goes out to you and your family. Calvin and my prayers are with you.

Wes and I went to Junior and High school together and I always laughed at his humor. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. What a great person........Don Weir

Wes always surprised me. He could sit down and play music like it was a second nature. Who knew?! He brushed it off and no big deal and it was just amazing. He had a very curious mind and was always thinking outside of the box and testing everything he found. Sometimes mischevious and always sincere. He was a character in my High School life that I have never forgotten.

Wes and Ted were dear friends. When I lived in Everett and Ted lived in CA, he would come home on vacation twice each year - summer and Christmas. I had a piano and Ted, Wes - usually Phil and Mike sometimes other friends would come over and play music. I LOVED watching them as they both wrote music and could just call out chords and play each other's songs. I would make spaghetti or chili and cornbread, sometimes steamed clams and garlic toast! They were the kind of friends that even if...

Karen and family, Sorry to hear of Wes' passing. I will never forget how much he loved you Karen. It was always great to see you both, you sing and Mr. Wes on the drums, at the yearly "pig roast". May he rest in peace.
