Jack Wheeler

With sincere sympathy to Jack's family and friends. I worked for Jack at Pekin Insurance in the Individual Life/Health Dept. He always treated me with respect and kindness, and I truely enjoyed working with him.

Honored to be a friend of J.D.s. He will surely be missed. I will miss his articles in The Community Word and his letters, often of clarification, in the PJS.

A real-life defender of Truth, Justice, and the American Way...

Well done, J.D., and thank you.

J. D. always stood for what he believed in, even if he had to face adverse consequences.


I had the honor of serving with him in the Peoria ACLU.

His memory will live in the hearts and minds of many of us; I know that he taught me many things about civil liberties.

Rest in peace my friend; you have earned it.

J.D.’s life is an inspiration to all striving for a just and fair society. I’ll miss our Barnes and Nobel conversations about current events. J.D. not only was well spoken, but a good writer and defender of free speech and the common good

My sincerest smpathy to Jack's family and friends. I worked with Jack at Pekin Insurance for many years. He often spoke of his nieces and nephews.
