It was a pleasure working along side George as a pre-teen at Welding Diversified. I remember being on his pretend "payroll" installing cup holders outside the tool room and polishing "O" rings on Saturdays. His white welding helmet stood out clearly throughout the shop. Sweeping his burnt electrodes was a fun time.

Its been a long long time since I have worked for Goerge. He was the manager of the Welding Diversified Co.I remember working for him. He was tough and fair. He always had a great outlook when things were tough.
Randy, I hope your doing well. You might not know that I bought back Welding Diversified. You liked working for your Dad; our boss. Did you know he was a football coach too! I guess you could say he was a motivator!
Maybe God have His open hands in waiting for Mr. Wiler to come home. Thank you my good and faithful servent.
