Wes started selling caskets for Erie Burial Case Co. in 1961.  He retired at the age of 75 from Yorktown Casket Co. in 2007.

Wes had a fantastic memory.  If you couldn’t think of a date you could just call Wes and he could tell you.  He loved mowing and was known for his perfection of his yard.   He was also known for his love of Pepsi and the Kane Hot Dog Shop.  He was quick witted, generous and had a gift to make people laugh.
