Wes proudly served in WWII with the 82nd Airborne and participated in D Day where he received the Purple Heart. Upon his return from the war, he met Joan on Cape Cod.  Married in 1954 they raised their 2 sons in Wilmington. His love of cars lead him to many years in the automotive industry.

His greatest joy was spending time at their cottage in Stone Harbor N.J. whether just sitting on their front porch or riding the streets on his red scooter, he was often regarded as “The Mayor”.

He will be remembered by his friends for his bright smile and fun hearted soul, bringing light to any party or occasion.
