Wallace was born December 16, 1947, in Wilmington, North Carolina, son of the late Wallace Isaiah West, Sr. and Virginia Mae Lee. Wallace was a 1970 graduate of The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, where he also spent his career as the director of admissions and working in the alumni office. He loved life and the outdoors, embracing every season with passion-whether hunting, fishing, diving, archery, or golf. With Valerie and dear friends, he played courses around the world, always bringing laughter and good company. Known for his warmth, quick wit, and easy charm, he was a loving husband, proud father, cherished grandfather, and loyal friend. He fought a courageous battle against Parkinson's disease with the same dignity and grace that defined his life. To know him was to like him, and his spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
