Charles Wesley Goyer ’44 *50

Wes died June 1, 2013, in Dallas, Texas.

Wes grew up in Memphis, Tenn. At Princeton he majored in architecture and was a member of Triangle and Dial Lodge. He entered the Army in January 1943, served in intelligence for four years, and was discharged as a captain. He graduated from Princeton in 1947 and stayed on to earn a master’s degree in architecture in 1950.

Wes married Emily Stewart of Bronxville, N.Y., in 1948. He worked for Webb and Knapp in New York City while commuting from Bronxville and also worked for William Zeckendorf and the famous architect I.M. Pei.

The family moved to Dallas in 1958, where Wes helped to create Six Flags Over Texas. He worked for Planned Parenthood and Goals for Texas, among many other community organizations. Wes later designed a home in Cuernavaca, Mexico, while still living part time in Dallas.

Wes created many joyous occasions and was an obsessive gift-giver and traveler. He came to one class reunion — the 50th.

He was predeceased by Emily and their daughter, Maude Emily Comstock. Survivors include his son, Wesley Goyer III, and his wife and son Charlie Goyer; and his son-in-law, Douglas Comstock, and his three children.
