McCUNE, Wesley "Wes" Roy
August 21, 1938 - January 4, 2012

Wes passed away peacefully in Vernon at the age of 73. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Jean, to whom he was married for 51 years; his children Greg McCune, Shelley (Rick) Hawrys, Tracey (Clayton) Castle, Joanne (Ken) Davies, Dawn (Roger) Bootsma, and his 15 grandchildren Derek, Jenelle, Dexx, Brett, Joel, Drew, Keegan, Sidney, Mason, Eli, Harley, Jaron, Keaton, Carleigh, and Kate.

Wes enjoyed growing up in Regina Beach, SK and started working in Regina. Wes and Jean were married in Regina, and they moved onto Calgary where Wes was employed by National Bakery. In 1975, he moved his family to Enderby, where he purchased Sutherland's Bakery, and successfully built his business for 34 years. Wes loved his Mara Lake Cabin with his boat and family....fishing and kids water skiing. Wes also enjoyed golfing, reading, and his long history of competitive curling, including winning the Vernon Car Spiel!

Though his smile is gone forever, and his hand we cannot touch, we will still have so many memories of the one we love so much. Memory of him is our keepsake, with which we'll never part, God has him in his keeping, we have him in our hearts. Love you Wes, Dad, Grandpa.
