Thinking of so many great memories Mr. Wesley brought to my childhood, times sailing, taking me on vacations, and sitting at the Wesley family table for meals. Thank you, thinking of both Meredith and Mrs Wesley today, sending hugs and love.

Dear Mrs. Wesley and Meridith,
I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Wesley was one of my favorites! I still appreciate the fact that he was more patient teaching me to drive than my own father was! So many wonderful memories of all the years that we all were so close. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,

Kathy, our thoughts and prayers are with you. I told Meridith, we can't think of Gances restaurant in Johnson City without thinking of Gene. You and Gene took us there our first time and many after that.
What a good man.

Mrs. Wesley and Meredith,
Many years have passed, but, I can still remember talking to Mr. Wesley during the time I was his paperboy in Tioga Terrace. A soft spoken nice man. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
