1st of 3 sons born to Wilbur and Luella Smith, in Syracuse New York in 1924--he was a resident of Delray Beach and then Boynton Beach from 1957 and loved every minute of it.

He was an integral part of this community and served as Commander of the VFW Post 4141 of Delray Beach.

He also was a member of the Shriners and Masons.

His presence was felt throughout Palm Beach County when he owned and operated Pizzios Restaurant (later "WESLEY'S) on Federal Hwy until it burned in 1961, and later as a salesman criss-crossing the county servicing automobiles and selling sound equipment.

He was a known entertainer, telling stories & singing/guitar playing country music up until the last 2 years of his life.

Wesley was a friend to everyone he met, and fathered 4 surviving children with his wife Elizabeth Abington Smith: Lyndon, Leann Gregory and Leslie. He leaves behind 10 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren. His youngest brother Leland Smith, also became a member of this community in 1970.
