He was especially known for riding his bike all over the place, short and long distances.

At any given time on any given day, you could walk into W.E.’s house and it was guaranteed that he was going to have some type of crime show or live PD on the television.

W.E. was a husband, father, son, brother, grandfather and friend who will forever be loved and missed by all who knew him.
