Born January 11, 1948 in Wisconsin, Wes moved to South Pasadena in 1963 at age 15, just in time to start his sophomore year at SPHS.  Wes had a great laugh, a wonderful sense of humor and absolutely never took himself too seriously.  Ironically, he worked for the Internal Revenue Service for 20 years as an accountant.

Wes died November 29, 1989 in San Rafael, California.  He was 41 years old. He is survived by a multitude of friends and his mother, Elsie Decker of Laguna Hills.  He is missed by many.
