Wes was a farmhand, service station owner, cheese maker, and a police officer. He was also the best fisherman on the Wisconsin River. He ruled the river from childhood until the very end (he didn't go too often from the nursing home though). He also enjoyed playing with his tractors and hunting. His diet mostly was fried catfish. Sometimes they would have squirrel, turtle, or deer. He also loved fried chicken and beef roasts. He was also quoted saying "if there aren't meat and potatoes on the table, you don't have to pray."
