In 1973, they welcomed their son, Wesley Blaine, Violet. Wes was a proud man, a snappy dresser, an extremely hard worker and a competitive spirit. Wes loved to dance, have well-kept yards with beautiful roses and rose bushes. Wes was always supportive, kind, funny and proud but most importantly "always present" in the lives of his family. Wes' proudest moments were when he became a grandfather. Wes loved many things, and while family was always first he was also an avid Winnipeg Jets and Winnipeg Blue Bomber fan. Wes had a passion for the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair, a passion he acquired being raised with showing ponies with his father. Wes loved to support many organizations involved with youth. Westman Dreams for kids was a favourite with Parade Float Decorating and dressing up in Mascots. Sincere thanks to Dr. Bookatz for many years of care. A private family graveside service was held at the Brandon Cemetery.
