He enjoyed his time being involved for many years at the Card Home for the Aged as both President and a member of the Board of Directors. Wes was also a life member of the Putnam Elks Lodge.
Besides his wife of 61 years, Wes leaves behind his son Michael Johnson and wife Deborah, daughter Nancy Brennan and husband James, son David Johnson and wife Kathleen. He also leaves his grandchildren, whom he adored, Kelcey Johnson and fiancé Justin Martin, James Brennan and wife Morgan, Tyler Johnson, Michael Brennan, Patrick Brennan, Conor Johnson and Brenden Johnson, as well as many wonderful nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.
