The first day of togetherness in the Wheeler family

My sincere and deepest condolences to the Wheeler family. Pepaw, Uncle Jr, Superman and once upon a time Stepdad will be missed. He was call a lot of things to all but I once called him "Stepdad" who stepped up for US when our dads didn't! He was a great provider for our family. He was so strong he could pick up anything we called him "Superman" ..I thank God for giving me the opportunity on witnessing his change, how he got saved and served in the church for the Lord, among meeting the new creation, he apologized to me and his ex wife for their failed marriage. He became this "tootsie pop man" hard shell but soft center" His apologies made him a very admirable man, and for that I will hold dear to my heart, and again thank God for letting me witness the wonderfulness and how he let God in his heart him before he left this earth. RIH in heaven Stepdad Oscar Wheeler a.k.a. "Superman"
