      Wesley received Christ at an early age and attended Mt. Hope M.B. Church in Taylor, MS. Wesley was united in marriage to the love of his life, Earlene (nee: Martin), on August 4, 1963 and from that union three beautiful children were born: Sheila, Shawn, and Stanley. He moved to Racine in 1964 where he began a career in industrial work. He worked at Belle City for 20 years until his early retirement in 1994 due to health reasons.
