My heart is broken. Mr.West is one of the finest men I have ever known. And, I knew him from the age of 5, when my Dad, Vester Bounds, would take me into Southwest Drugs in the little shopping "mall" where there was a A&P, and Morgan and Lindsey, etc. It was a LONG time ago. He was a constant in my life when I lived on 13th Avenue in Hattiesburg. I cannot tell you how sorry I am for this terrible loss. They do not make men like this anymore. God bless...

I have so many wonderful stories of Mr. West. He was truly a spectacular person. He taught me so many things and loved to laugh at me. Maybe because I raked the wrong lawn he sent me to or chopped up some flowers when he mistakenly put a weed whacker in my hands. The best thing he taught me was how to be a more caring, loving, and open person. He will truly be missed.
