I attended the Baton Rouge vocational Technical trade school with Wesley back in 1973. We were both learning how to weld hoping to get a good job. Wesley was already at the school when I arrived there and he helped teach me how to weld. I remember him saying he was from Pride Louisiana and Wesley seemed to be a really nice and friendly guy. I thought of him every now and then and wondered how he was doing. Hearing the sad news, I would like to give my heart felt condolences to his family. RIP my old friend. It was a pleasure knowing you.
