Westley's lively powerful personality and extravert fun loving nature made him attractive to young and old alike. He was particularly adored by his niece Chloe...having a natural affinity with children. As a child he loved school and excelled in all subjects, particularly Art in all forms, including performing arts...also a gifted poet and orator. During his school years as a day boy at Colchester`s Boys High and later as a Boarding school pupil..he continued to sing as a Soloist Choir Boy. His enjoyment of song and dance continued long after leaving school, along with his strong Christian faith. Likewise sports..Swimming, Tennis, Rugby and Football - an avid Liverpool supporter, who would have been ecstatic at the superb game Liverpool played against West Ham to win the Cup Final on the 13th May, 2006. As a family watching that game with Westley in mind, we could see and hear his reaction and cheers! His hobbies other than sport included reading, writing poetry, sketching...he loved animals and nature, often would sit and draw birds, even landscapes.
