This is Susie Lee of the now-closed Ferret & Dove Sanctuary, Inc. I got a pleasant surprise in the spring-summer edition of the M.E.B.A. "Marine Officer" magazine. On page 42 of that magazine they featured Wesley Hurley's one-paragraph obituary with a prominent mention of the work he loved the most and best, working with the ferrets in The Ferret and Dove Sanctuary, Inc. after his retirement from 33 years as a Merchant Marine officer in 1998. I have posted a copy of it here... http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/ferret_rescuer/index.html and here is the part that Wes would have been Most proud and happy over..." Brother Hurley ran The Ferret and Dove Sanctuary, Inc. with his wife, Susan Lee. The Sanctuary helped (find homes) for dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, parakeets, cockatiels, ferrets, doves, and various other animals. ...He is survived by his wife who had to close the Sanctuary after Brother Hurley's death, but who still dedicates a webpage to his memory. " I sent a copy to each of Wes's grown children, already got back one answer saying "Very Nice!" :) [Posted in FML 7093]
