My Wes was a very loving caring man. His presence, laughter, smiles and jokes would lighten up anywhere he was. His heart was so big he would help anyone and would always be there. He had incredible skills, as a master craftsman of wood working. The creations he built with his hands showed his enthusiasm for what he had made.
A true Chicago sports fan, the Blackhawks, NASCAR, Chicago White Sox and Chicago Bears were in his blood. He loved all types of music, heavy metal being his favorite. Wes was truly a renaissance man, intellectual curiosity, creativity, versatility and a dedication to lifelong learning and love.
