Tim Connelly: Wes Unseld Sr. was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Beyond the gruff voice, vice grip hands, and constant smart comments, lied a man who cared so deeply for his family and his community.

Every personal or professional milestone that I reached included a call to Wes, I wanted his advice and needed his guidance; he was always spot on.
