Not sure what to say?

To all who knew him, Arthur Wheelock, aka Bopa, was an extraondary man of integrity,warmth, understanding and love. In him one saw his commitment to his home, his beautiful wife Anne and his wonderful family. The love he extended to me and my daughter, I will hold dear in my heart.

I want to thank you for all the support, calls & notes for myself & family - my father was a great role model to all that knew him, a devoted Uxbridge resident that loved his town and it's people, a caring businessman who looked at Stanley Woolen's employees as family - a special person who has enriched our lives in so many ways.

And I am Strick's son. Bapa was a great and generous man who will be missed tremendously by many.

I am Strickland's oldest daughter. It is wonderful to read all these entries and hear how Bopa touched other peoples lives in addition to ours. Thank you for sharing your memories.

I am Strickland's youngest daughter, thank you all for the support and kind words. My grandfather was a wonderful man and I'm so glad he touched so many lives.

Dear Arthur, Strickland and Jerry,
My sincere sympathy and prayers on
the loss of your dad.
With many fond memories of living "on the hill".

Dear Strickland and family.....My condolences on the loss of your father. I remember both of you from the 1970s, while attending your church when Henry Cooper was your minister.

I was very honored, to know arthur for a very long time. I always enjoy the wheelocks, they accept this humble boy , into there house many times. My children still remember those halloweens. rest in peace dear friend,as I look out my deck, and see your house, I will always remeber you.

As a child of 9 or 10 I remember my father, Willard G. Hersee taking me to the mill to sell wool. He said shake hands wilth Mr. Wheelock (Stanley) and look him in the eye. I suspect that would have been Arthurs father. I am sorry for your loss and offer a prayer for his family. I am Richard E. Hersee, 72 and living in a modest condo in Jensen Beach, Florida.
