Long Time 914 Suppporter Mechanic needs Moral Support, Wes from H & H Enterprises is In and Out of the Hospital Options

[bandjoey]

Although I didn't know Wes personally, he spend time with me answering newby questions, and even some free advice on the phone. In Dallas, many know the Saturday Hangout at his shop. I don't know how long he's been in business but it wouldn't surprise me it someone said 20+ years. He is the classic old timer Porsche mechanic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Last time I went by, there must have been a couple of 911's and about 6 914 in the door.


I heard he was in Hospice, and Ron stopped by his shop to find out the straight. He is in remission from Prostrate Cancer, and recently fell and broke a hip. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Now in rehab.
Ron or someone local to Plano can add more details here and possibly a photo or 2 of his shop.

I doubt he has email but it would be a nice gesture to mail a get well card or 2, with THANKS for all the work he's done for the local 914 community. I know it's a hassle to go get a stamp but....

Let's send him some Porsche Cheer!

This is very sad. A great man. He's helped me wth my car since the early 80's. Any word on services? I just checked the internet and couldn't find anything.

I have not heard anything, but I'm also wondering if that is by design... I would understand completely if the family wanted to keep it a small affair.. instead of having the motley cast of characters that hung out with Wes every saturday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I understand that the family might want to keep a service, if any, private. But it might still be appropriate if a group of DFW teeners and other air-cooled cars got together on their own to celebrate what Wes did for the local community. Even if it was a group drive by the shop without stopping - just a tribute.
