In 1996, I said Wes, "I’ve worked my ass off clearing stones from this farm and now I’m paying you to haul more back in" (part of a project we were doing), I will remember his laugh forever!
The D7 was part of that project.
I’ll do my best to hang on to the great memories.
RIP

So sorry to hear about Wes' passing. We remember him driving slowly through Teeswater. He was a friendly and outgoing man. He loved his gravel business.
Thinking about you.

My sincere condolences to Lorraine and family. He was a busy man, always on the go, but always had time to chit chat when he was out and about. Always a smile on his face. He will be missed.

My condolences to Lorraine & Family. I will miss seeing you outside your house and your waves. Your laugh when we would have our little chats either coming or going to work. It's true you did work, work and more work. You were a great man, friend and neighbour. I will miss you dearly.

Our condolences to the Riley and Pearce family. Wes was one-of-a-kind, hard working and self-taught on many aspects of the business. Wes would make his own parts for his equipment. I dealt with Wes for 35 years at work and he was always a gentlemen and always smiling. Wes was a very generous man and will definitely be missed in the community. Rest in Peace Wes.

Deepest sympathies to the family, Wes Riley was a Legend in the gravel business! If he had a problem with any of his equipment, he would work on it till he got it fixed, incredibly knowledgeable with wash plant and construction equipment. He will be dearly missed!

Our sympathy to Lorraine and family,
My Dad, Cliff McComb, and Wes worked together at Sandy's for about 10 years. Let's just say what one didn't think of, the other one did. Life was not dull with those two. I will always remember Wes's laugh!
Wes was a wonderful family man and hard worker.
Rest in peace.
Lorna (McComb) Girard and daughters, Kelly, Jenn and Jacklyn

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Wes.
Wes was more than just a valued customer to us at Freiburger Welding — he was a longtime friend. Over the many years we had the pleasure of knowing him, he became a familiar face in our shop and someone we always looked forward to seeing.
Ken has many fond memories of Wes from his days as a plough driver and during his time with Sandy Contracting. Wes always had a story to share, a joke ready, and a laugh that could brighten anyone’s day.
He will be greatly missed by all of us here — not only for the work we shared, but for the friendship we were fortunate to have.
Our sincere condolences go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
