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. |

I also lost my father at a young age to prostate cancer, so I have been proactive in testing.
I was diagnosed with stage 1 prostate cancer at the age of 48 with a PSA of 6.5 and 3 out of 12 biopsies showing cancer. Since then I have had PSA tests and a biopsy every 6 months. I am now 52 and it has not progressed at all. I sent out my last biopsy for the Genome testing and it came back that it is "slow growing". What does this mean???? No one knows and there is no set rule. I guess it is luck of the draw because my brother in law was just diagnosed with stage 4 at the age of 56. My thoughts and prayers to Wes and his family! |

RIP Wes. I met him back in the early 2000's. I'd stop by the shop every once in a few years. Incredible wealth of knowledge that we've lost. Irreplaceable, really. But as good as he was as a mechanic, he was even better as a person. Just a good soul. He was never without a chuckle or a cigar.

For all those interested, there will be a memorial service @ the South Pavilion of Bob Woodruff Park ( 2601 San Gabriel Drive) in Plano from 3:00 to park closing on the 6th.
This will be a come and go potluck, with Tea and Brisket provided. Bring a covered dish if you can, dress is casual. |

Those who have stage 4, did they all ignore symptoms, or was the diagnosis out-of-the-blue? I had some odd symptoms recently. Man did I dread going to the doc. Conversation began "well, I guess I'm at the age where you get to have embarrasing problems". Turned out to be bladder infection. My doc said false negative PSAs do not happen and that prostate cancer always grows slowly.

RIP although I never met him he did post on the early 914 boards "back in the day" when we first shared info on the 914's and their problems on the digisite.
