Little did he know, that during his travels he would meet his lovely wife June, in Winnipeg. They would have been married 62 years this June 24. Wes and June lived in Toronto Ontario for 16 years. Having other jobs at first he eventually became a letter-carrier for the post office in 1954. They transferred back to Winnipeg in 1966, where he remained with the post office for 31 years. His goal was to retire at age 55, which he did. He enjoyed their cottage on Lee River at Lac Du Bonnet for 25 years, always keeping his vehicles shiny, and tinkering in the garage or shed.
