Wes married his beloved Jean on June 1st , 1951 and they celebrated more than 60 years of marriage until her passing in April, 2012. The family finds comfort knowing they are together again.

Life for Wes & Jean was devoted to family, farming & friends. Over the years Wes enjoyed socializing, cribbage, cards, fishing, bowling, square-dancing to name a few and in his later years bingo and his iPad.

Wes and Jean's shared values, hard work, resilience, humour and love made a great team. They were also blessed with good health most of their lives. When that changed in later years they were both very fortunate to be cared for in the local care home and were able to maintain close connections to their community.
