Wesley was a faithful member of St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Browns Corner, where his faith was an important part of his life.
For over 50 years, Wesley was a dedicated employee at Mayville Limestone.
Wesley was a man with a curious mind and a remarkable ability to understand how things worked.

He also had a strong interest in electrical work and took great satisfaction in using his knowledge and skills to make things work again.
Wesley had a wonderful sense of adventure. He was fortunate to travel to every state in the continental United States, as well as every providence in Canada and parts of Mexico.
