His selfless attitude and honest work ethic as a Director of Sales led to Lippert Components creating the Wesley Sauls Team Member of the Year Award which is given to employees who exhibited the same ethic and virtue Mr. Sauls showed others every day in his work. He accomplished a great deal in his life, but his most important accomplishment was always his family that he cherished so much.
