Not sure what to say?

Dad,
You are still in our memories and will forever be there.
Love you always

Dear Wheeler Family,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Jim.
I had not seen Jim in years but he meant alot to our family. He was a great guy.

Take comfort in knowing that you have a guardian angel now watching over you as you celebrate a life well lived.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers. So sorry for your loss.
Love, Jessica, Jared, Breanne, Riley, and Seth

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all the family. I can only say I have high regards for jim and glad to have him in my life. I can say that I am glad he has the passion for tractors and the Select O Speed tractor which meant so much to me.

Mike, you are in my thoughts during this sad time; I am sorry for your loss.

To all of Jimmy's immediate family, you have all my sympathy for your loss. Jimmy was one of Dad's right hands and I will always remember how good he was to Mom and Dad long after he stopped working with Dad. One favorite memory I'll carry is of our Grandparents wedding anniversary party, Jim driving the tractor with the wagon, one hand on the wheel, one on the fendor looking back to make sure everyone was safe on the wagon and, of course, his wonderful smile and grin. We all loved him...

so many fond memories that will be cherished forever of such a wonderful friend~
Love always,
Bob,Kim,and Alyssa

Brenda, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I haven't seen you or Jimmy since we were kids, but I will always remember the fun we had growing up.
