Wesley Elwood Wyse age 82 years, of Archbold, passed away Wednesday morning March 8, 2017 at Fairlawn Haven Care Center in Archbold.  He was born September 20, 1934 in Wayland Iowa to Fred and Mina (Graber) Wyse.  The family moved to Pettisville OH when Wes was 13 and he attended school and graduated from Pettisville HS in 1953.  October 7, 1953, he married his high school sweetheart Evelyn Jane Short.  Wes farmed for 8 years before joining his sister Bernice Wyse in the The Family Bookstore which later became Wyse Book & Office Supplies, Inc.   Wes became a trained IBM typewriter service technician, and in 1982 had the foresight to become the area's first Apple Computer dealership.

Wes was a long-time active member of the West Clinton Mennonite church where he taught Sunday School classes, was on the building committee, song leader, youth sponsor, and sang in a men's quartet for many years.

Wes is survived by his wife Evelyn, children; Julie (Steve) Nofziger, Russell (Sandy) Wyse, Gary (Robin) Wyse, all of Archbold, and Rita (Mark) Mitchell of Sewell, NJ.  Wes & Ev have 12 grandchildren, Lindsey (Alex) Ames, Lana Johnson, Chelsea (Brett) Cordy, Courtney (Alex) Stuckey, Abby (Caleb) Nafziger, Bridget (Cody) Ruffer, Stacy (Tyler) Smith, Tanner Wyse, Cassidy Wyse, Levi Wyse, Jared Mitchell, and Sydney Mitchell.  Also, surviving are 13 great grandchildren.
