Wesley M. "Red" Wakefield

Red helped jump start quite a few peoples musical career as owner of the Cuba Lake Pavilion. Gave my band, The Checkmates, our first opportunity to perform other than in the Olean High School gym. At the Pavilion people from all over western NY came to dance, drink and listen to bands they had never heard before.
The one unique thing I remember about Red was that at closing time he would get on his PA system and announce "Last call for alcohol", this expression I would repeat a hundred...

Debby and family,
I just heard about the passing of your dad. I am very sorry for your loss. Always remember that you helped make his final years comfortable and fulfilling despite his lack of memory. Take comfort in that.

Debby and family,
So sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Christine (Scibilia)Carroll (DOH)

Very sorry for your loss.

Curt and Debbie,
I am so sorry for your loss. Red was a most colorful man. I have a lot of memories of Red over the years.
Again Sorry for your loss
Ron and Maureen

Sorry for your loss.
