Wesley Dean “George” Wichman was born March 24, 1938 in Nodaway Township northwest of Clarinda on the family farm. He passed away Tuesday, July 6, 2010 in Red, Iowa at the age of 72 years.
Wesley lived within one mile of his birthplace all but six months of his life. He attended Butler School then McCunn School. When he was finished with school he started working for uncle Mervil Sunderman. Wesley then worked for the Geer family. He also drove a raw milk truck for Borden’s to Kansas City and also worked at Hi-Grade Meat. He worked for McCunn Implement, Hartstack Trucking, Hopkins Elevator and farmed and trucked throughout his life. Wesley had to give up farming when his health became a problem in the last few years.
Wesley enjoyed golfing, his John Deere tractor collection, and deer hunting with his family and friends. He celebrated his 72nd birthday in March and the day was a good remembrance for all the family. Farming, trucking, church and golf are the four things which he particularly enjoyed.
