Always in the pursuit of new and challenging domains. All this work was flavoured with working trips to the Arctic, Thailand, Lesotho and Sierra Leone and explorations of European culture.

We have met incredible people during his journey and there are so many people to thank; Dr. Gallagher for the diagnosis and education, Dr. Chouinard and his team of doctors, nurses, staff, and volunteers. Without your expertise of treatments and trial drugs, we would not have had the past 3 years with him which we are so very grateful for. Each of you made him feel special and knew by the smell of his cologne he was in the hospital. Dr. Kuk, for the aggressive radiation treatment once the spinal cancer was detected and the midnight run, CCAC especially Joanne and Pat, for allowing us to keep him home for as long as we could, the 3rd and 4th floor nurses at CMH, for the care during our lengthy stays, Lisaard House RNs, PSWs, staff, and volunteers, for the care and compassion that you provided to him and to his family for the past 15 weeks. All of you will hold a special place in our hearts for the love you provided. And finally to our family and friends, we could have never done this without all of you. We are so lucky that you all loved him as much as we did. He always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye until he no longer could.

Wes' father John, was a grain buyer for the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and Wes was schooled in the district wherever John was stationed including living in Kamsack. After graduating high school, Wes went on to be a teacher in a one room school house for a year. He then ventured to Ontario to train in the Health Sciences, earning his accreditation as an X-ray Technician. He began employment at the Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital and over the many years, advanced to Chief X-ray Technician. It was here at the hospital that he met love of his life, Dianne (nee Nihls), whom he married on May 30, 1960. Sadly Dianne passed away December 1996. Later he worked for Medical Diagnostic Systems Labs (MDS Labs) as a mobile x-ray tech. A position he very much enjoyed as he loved the people he worked with and liked being on the road and travelling in the x-ray van across Ontario. Wes' mother passed away in October 2002.

Wes made a valiant effort, yet died Friday, May 2, 2014 due to complications of heart attack, stroke and sepsis. There needs to be more research and understanding of how to treat sepsis.
