Obituary
Joseph Wesley passed away on October 1, 2023, at 85 years of age. He is survived by his wife, Pat, of 58 years, 3 adult children - Peter, Amy, and Paul - and 4 grandchildren - Kayla, Jake, Zachary, and Kaitlyn.
His long life cannot be summed up in a few words, although entrepreneur, lifelong learner (especially of that damn “computerization”), builder, lover of “The Lake,” and family man come to mind as do stubborn (persistent) Polack and perfectionist. :)
In lieu of flowers, Joe’s family asks that you take a moment to appreciate life and family, smile an extra smile, express your gratitude to someone you haven’t in a while, perform a random act of kindness, or just stop and let your heart sing.

Sincerely,
David and Amy Larson

Very well said Amy. He could be a complicated man but know he loved his wife and children to the moon and back. He was proud of all of you. I can attest to that. I wish you all the best life has to offer and my prayers are with you all!

Although I never had the opportunity to meet him in person, Joseph Wesley sounds like he was wonderful, down-to-earth individual. I also now know that being a perfectionist is hereditary 🙂 . I am deeply sorry for your loss and hope you will find joy in all the wonderful memories that he has undoubtedly left you with. We will keep the Wesley family in our thoughts and prayers as we let our hearts sing in his memory.

I remember having to do a paper for school and Joe was kind enough to let me come to the pharmacy multiple times and borrow some books so I could get the information I needed. He was a kind man. My sympathy to Pat and family.
