Sorry I missed the Tribute. Wesley was a one in a World Kind of Guy. Talented beyond imagination, Quirky, Kind & personalable. Told it like He saw it. You always knew where You stood with Him! Inventions, Race cars, Billiards, Dogs, Wesley was extradinary with all He encountered. It was an Honor to call Wesley, "My Friend" See Ya down the road, Fella..
My dad, Jim Brunner and Wes were cousins. My dad would take me to the stock car races at the fairgrounds. And Wes was always winning. I met him several years back, and he proudly showed me his shop, some of his projects...I was impressed. I am truly sorry I didn't know Wes better.

Being in the pits at the fairgrounds with Wes JR, watching Indianapolis 500 at his house on Navajo street, how happy mom was to see him, seeing his cool inventions like the roto tiller

Was friends with Wes since we were neighbors in Lake Breeze (200 so. Redwood rd.) in the 50"s. Sorry to hear of his passing.. Ron Match
When I was in Jr. High school about1975 Wes was visiting my father, Ron Dickinson, who also raced at the Fairgrounds, they were having coffee and it happened to be April 1st (April fools day). Sitting at the kitchen table mom poured them a cup of coffee and Wes proceeded to put his sugar into his coffee, not knowing that the sugar had been replaced by salt, and well he put several heaping teaspoons into his coffee while dad only put a 1/4
teaspoon into his, We, my mom and my sister and I were all standing around waiting for the look on dads face but Wes took a sip of his first, oh no he's going to give us away, but he kept a straight face until my dad took a sip his. And you can imagine how that went. But I will never forget that. Wendy Dickinson McDonnell
