They really "get it".

So sorry for your loss Linda and family. I worked with Wes in dept.3 for many years and he sure helped time fly with his lively personality. I loved his fried rice he brought in on occasion. He was a good friend and helped me learn my job easily. He was so happy go lucky and will be missed terribly. My heart and prayers go out to you and everyone who new him.

Shannon I will always remember the good times Gary and I had with you and your family. I wish I was closer to you so I could help in anyway. Gary and I moved to Florida in December and hope you might want to get away for a while and come down and visit with us. Take care of yourself and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry for your loss. I will always remember Wesley with that smirk on his face as he was telling one of his famous jokes. As I laughed, Linda would roll her eyes and say, "Bev don't encourage him" as she began laughing too. Wesley had a knack for enjoying each day to the max, and I truly enjoyed the years the Dummitt family lived across the street. I miss them both.

Condolences to the family and friends of Wes Dummitt. I had the great opportunity to work with Wes for over 30 years at General Motors. We were very close friends while working and I'm very sorry to say did not stay in touch after retirement. Wes was a very caring, dependable, and funny person. He never met a person that he could not cheer up with his humor. I'm very proud to say Wes was a dear friend of mine. A great friend and a greater man. My wife and I grieve with you, for we have lost someone very special to all of us. May God Bless you Wes.
