IN LOVING MEMORY
GEORGE J WECHSLER
August 7, 1916 - January
7, 2010
George Wechsler, one-time owner of Wolfe
Nursery stores, began working at Alamo
Paint Company at age 8, earning a dollar a
week.

Growing up on a dairy farm, Wechsler
developed determination and drive. As a
teen, that drive allowed him to go from
dishwasher to assistant manager at an H.L.
Green store. In 1939, Wechsler accepted a
job with the Solo Serve department store,
where his tenacious work ethic earned him
the merchandise manager position.

His dream was to become a business
owner. But his fast track to becoming an
entrepreneur was soon halted by the onset of
World War II.

Wechsler earned the Purple Heart and the
Silver Star in WWII, but the war experience
cost him his right eye. His jeep hit a land
mine, killing fellow passengers and sending
him to the hospital for six months. Two
weeks prior to suffering severe injuries,
Wechsler was recognized for taking fire to
help secure his troops' safety, his daughter
Jan Ramert said.

After a six-month stint in numerous hospitals,
Wechsler returned to managing, this time at
Joykist Candy Company. But after five years,
he returned to Solo Serve in hopes of a
chance at ownership.

“San Antonio was being built up at that time,
and his boss needed someone to learn the
nursery business,” his daughter said.
“Subdivisions needed plants and trees.”

Wechsler's boss at the department store
offered him a fourth of the nursery business if
he showed promise, and he did.

“He was really excited about learning the
nursery business — he read everything he
could about plants,” Ramert said. “He
became the plant man.”

In 1960, Wechsler achieved his dream. He
bought Solo Serve Nursery (eventually
becoming Wolfe Nursery) and ran 11
locations. But 10 years later, his injury from
WWII forced him to sell.

“He had a botched cataract surgery, and
since that was his only eye it rendered him
blind,” Ramert said. “He didn't know if he'd be
able to see again, so he sold the nurseries.”

Eventually, surgery repaired Wechsler's
sight. And in 1998, he repurchased and
revitalized a then-bankrupted Wolfe Nursery.

He owned the company until 2002, when he
sold it to Calloway's Nurseries. At 86,
Wechsler stayed on as general manager of
Calloway's, until suffering a stroke in 2004.

“He felt like he beautified San Antonio,” his
daughter said. “That's what he liked most
about the business, helping to beautify the
city he loved.”



Because of the foundation that George
Wechsler has set for us we have been
able to carry on his legacy in the
nursery business.  Much of what we do
at Arbolitos Nurseries comes from what
he taught us. Thank You for so much!
A true trail blazer and pioneer!
