He later moved with his family to Tacoma and then to Benton City, Wash., and worked as a welder at the Hanford tank yard.
Seeking a sunnier environment, Wes and his family moved to the Homedale area in Idaho, where he worked for Symms of Sunny Slope for many years. Carolyn, their daughter was born during this time. Wes later worked as a farm equipment mechanic and a welder for International Harvesters dealership, Mollerup's & Morris Equipment.

Wes and Madge traveled extensively and were members of Good Sams and the Boise Road Runner RV group. Wes is a longtime member of the Silver City Masonic Lodge of Homedale. Wes is also a longtime member of the First Baptist Church of Boise.
Wes will be remember for his incredible sense of humor, and people eagerly awaited his telling of a new joke. A warm and loving person, Wes was always ready to give and receive a hug and never knew a stranger and could/would smile and joke with anyone. He will also be remembered with admiration for his inventiveness and mechanical abilities. Wes is deeply loved and will be sorely missed by family and friends.
Wes is survived by his wife, Madge; sister, Rose and her husband Jim Ward of La Junta, Colo.; sons, Wes Jr. and his wife, Pat Schlegel of Tacoma, Wash., Gerald and Tony Schlegel of Homedale; daughter Carolyn and husband, Raymond Morris of Anchorage, Alaska; stepchildren, Cheryl and Carl Faught of Oregon, Kathy Newland of Washington, and David and his wife, Joy Faught of Nampa, and Dick and his wife Sondra Gohman of Salt Lake City, Utah; 13 grandchildren; and 10 great- grandchildren.
The family suggests memorials be given to the Masonic Lodge of Homedale, and/or the Elevator Fund of the First Baptist Church of Boise.
The family will receive friends at a visitation this evening from 6 to 8 p.m. at Summers Funeral Homes, Boise Chapel.
