I've known Bernie and Wes all my life I guess (47). My parents being very close friends to the Sommer's, often had grill outs and small get togethers. The laughter that was shared was unforgettable. As was every time I saw Wes, even up to last year, he would still call me by "Linky". God bless and we will all miss you Wes!

My deepest sympathies to Aunt Bernie and family. Uncle Wes was my Great Uncle and I enjoyed spending time with him growing up. What a wonderful smile and attitude he had! We will miss you, Uncle Wes!

I can't express into words how I feel right now about loosing my Grandpa. Unfortunately, I couldn't grow up right down the road from him as we would have liked. I will alway cherish the time I spent with him as a child and then letting my children getting to know and love him. Grandpa, I will always love you and miss you. You will never be forgotten by me or my children.
