Clare Wesley Memoriam

We didn't know that morning

That God would call your name.

In life we loved you dearly,

In death we do the same.

It breaks our heart to lose you,

You did not go alone,

For part of us went with you,

The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories of your love, and all your flying, fishing, and seeing the world.

Your love is still our guide,

And although we cannot see you,

You are always by our side.

Clare loved the world of aviation and flew over fifty years. He so enjoyed his fishing. He always had a kind word for everyone but had time to tell his "war stories."

I will always miss you until we meet again.



We love you!

Your wife Clarice and family.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Looking at this memento of a very fine flying day I spent with Clare many years ago made me think of him. It brought back memories of his kindness, support and endearing smile. We had so many great conversations and some really good flights. Blue skies my friend.
