He was the highlight of my day I loved going in there and seeing him and Shiva, they both greeted me like family. I even had a nickname from him. He called me, bubbe I love that man

He will be missed. He made arrangements that could almost talk. I knew him a long time and his smile would light up the room. He was so good to Katherine. A really devoted person

I considered Wes a dear friend. It was not unusual for him to drop in with a present for me. He would often tell me he saw something in a store and thought of me. I truly will miss his friendship and the laughter we always shared when we were together. I promise he will always be thought of with love and friendship. The world is a little darker without his sweet smile.

Wesley has been making arrangements for me and my mom for over twelve years for all of our loved ones we have lost over the years. He always made sure they were extra nice by putting more flowers and would make a beautiful bow to go in them. I will miss the conversations that we shared over the years and that he could always get you to laugh even during some of saddest times of your life. May you rest in peace my friend. You will be missed by all.

We are so saddened to hear of Wesley passing. Our family have been his customers for many years. He was always a joy to be around. When my aunt had to be admitted to a nursing home facility, Wesley sent her a special stuffed dog to keep her company. He would put extra flowers in our cemetery vases to make them look completely full. He always went the extra mile in his business. We will keep his family in our thoughts and prayers. Wesley was one of a kind and will be missed. From....(the razor blade family). That's how Wesley would know us...it's a little joke we had. We're sure gonna miss that.
