  • Joanne, Conn, Sheldon & families I am so very sorry for your loss. Wes was such a hard worker, always facing any challenge like a hot knife through butter. I was fortunate to have known Wes 35+ years. Whenever I think about Wes there is always a story, a good laugh and of corse a cigarette! I still get to work with the company Wes, Joanne, Sheldon and Conn worked so hard to create and I am very grateful because they are a contributing factor in the success of my business; not because they haul freight but because they care about their customers and they go above and beyond. I am truly truly grateful! We have lost a pioneer indeed. R.I.P. My friend....... - Posted by: Sherry Franche (Friend) on: Oct 06, 2015
