What a Inspiration?? Without Wes, we may have never had all the Beautiful Art that was created in that Era from others who followed his direction... The Trailblazer... Thanks Brother....

My condolences to the Wilson family. May God and fond memories provide comfort, peace, endurance, and strength to your family today, tomorrow, and always.

As Wes's brother-in-law I was at his wedding to my sister Eva Bessie, spent many happy hours with them both in their homes in the Bay Area and in Missouri, and will, just like his multitude of fans, miss both Wes and the continuation of the marvelous artwork he originated and produced. (The tradition of which is, fortunately, being continued by his equally talented son Jason.) Dan Bessie

As the days and weeks pass,and as you return to life's routine,may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
