    I grew up on Eastwood as a young kid I would ride through the cemetery by the tennis court with my grandmother Sally in the late 80s early to mid 90s. Wes would always stop us by the maintenance building and ask how we were doing and his "out for a early evening ride" to us. He was always so respectful. I'm saddened to just now sew he has passed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. - Wood family.

    What a beautiful man Wes was. Always kind, always compassionate, and always sincere. He had a profound impact on my life as a youth and an even greater impact "one day" while I was visiting my parents grave site. RIP Wes
