In 1942, he was discharged from the army for health reasons and they then moved to Winnipeg. He was employed as a truck driver until he was able to join Winnipeg Transit in March 1944. For 40 years he was employed as a bus driver with the city of Winnipeg, retiring with badge #1. He was the recipient for Honorable Mention Award and received Operator of the Month in December 1970, earning an excellent record for both courtesy and safety. Wesley enjoyed curling and spending time with his children and grandchildren in Clear Lake, Winnipeg, and Saskatoon.

We want to thank all the personnel for their wonderful care they provided for Dad. Also we would like to express heartfelt thanks to the doctors and nursing staff at the Grace Hospital for their care and compassion. A special thanks to Holly and Karen.

Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your father. My dad Bill Graves came from Welwyn and both got work at Winnipeg Electric, at the same time. I was born at Welwyn, and moved to Wpg. in 1940. We lived on Ainslie St. in St. James, and with our parents, visited Wes and Leneve many times. When Wes and Leneve moved to Lee River, I became their Insurance agent. When my mother Wilma moved to Beausejour we visited back and forth. They had many happy years at Lee River. On my way to work from Bird River on Monday mornings, I used to meet Wes on his morning walk to the Store for his paper. Gerald Graves from Beausejour. - Posted by: Gerald & Ann Graves (Family Friend and valued Insurance customer) on: Oct 09, 2013
