We were saddened to hear that Wes had passed away & would like to express our deepest sympathies to the family. I had the privilege of working with Wes in Foster Care in the late 80's & he married us in a beautiful ceremony in our home in 1990. Wes had such a unique, positive way of viewing life - he will be remembered! Sincerely, Marg & Bill Crumb

He will certainly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you send Wes onto his new journey. With our love, Sue and Dick
