As a 1961 graduate of Cuero High School, he remained an avid fan of the Cuero Gobblers and continued to attend football games throughout his life. Wesley spent more than 30 years managing the bookstore at Victoria College and he sincerely loved the work and the people he worked with. He also served as President of the Southwest College Bookstore Association in 1990 and 1991 before he retired. He loved planning for and planting his garden each year and was known for sharing that produce with his friends at the college and their church. He was dedicated to his faith and served as an elder in the church and led a vibrant Single’s Ministry and worked with a traveling choir called “The Children of Light’’ while attending College Church of Christ in Victoria.
Wesley is survived by his wife of 63 years, Naomi Jean Morisse Aldis (whom he married at age of 19, after famously introducing himself as Wesley “all this and some more” so she would remember his last name); daughter, Vicki Medrano and husband, Marcus; sons, Bradley Aldis and wife, Margaret, Jonathan Aldis and wife, Heather; sisters, Pat Striedel and husband, Roland, Kay Pickett and husband, Terry; brother, Jimmy Aldis and wife, Carol. Wesley also leaves behind 23 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild with one additional on the way.
Wesley will be remembered by all for his faith, his lifelong commitment to his bride, and for his love of family.
He is buried at Fordtran Cemetery.
Pallbearers are Nathaniel Medrano, Ethan Medrano, Micah Medrano, Max Aldis, Peter Aldis, Nathan Aldis, Samuel Aldis, Caleb Aldis, Blake Ritchie, Nate Falkenstine.
