To the editor,
It saddened me to hear about the passing of Wes Boie.
When I moved to Anna in 1981, I was having difficulty securing finances for a piece of property.
Thanks to Wes and his affiliation with the First National Bank of Jonesboro, I purchased the property and became a resident of Anna, Illinois.
Over the years, I would greet Wes or would stop by his office for a friendly chat.
He was always soft spoken, very intelligent and very observant. He had a sense of humor as well.
