Wes took classes from me when he was an undergraduate and he was one of the best students I ever worked with. Later he taught my son and was one of the best teachers MSU had. In between he coached my son's baseball team. He was a good person, a good friend, and one of those people who makes MSU special. even though I haven't seen him but once since I left, he will always be a valued friend. He made our lives better. He will be sorely missed.
