Gary Wheeler

I am truly sorry to hear of Garys' passing. I new Gary for many years and have raced against him and I new him as a very gentle man. A good listener and easy to talk to. I am sorry to say I did not know he was sick. But that was Gary, he never complained. He will be sadly missed by me and everyone that knew him here in the Rochester Quad Club.Heaven is a little better place now that Gary is there. My condolence go out to his family

I am a new member of the Utica racing pigeon club. Personally, I did not know Gary but I know of him as a good flyer. I was saddened to hear the news of him passing away. I did not even know that he was ill. We pigeon flyers are very special people and when one of us passes away, we all feel the loss and the grief. To begein with, there are not too many of us left and now one less. My sincere condolence goes out to his family and may the creator of heaven and earth take him into his racing...

Gary was a gentleman and tough competitor in the racing pigeon sport. His passing leaves a whole in our organization. I am grateful for everything he did and I will miss his calming presence.

Gary was a great guy. I found a good friend when I met Gary a few years ago. He is going to be missed. I enjoyed talking to him on the phone and I use to wish we lived closer to each other. We would have had a good time. We understood each other.

Yours in Sport
