Mr. Wheeler was my orchestra teacher at St. Elizabeth Academy in St. Louis, Missouri and I am deeply saddened to hear of the loss of this great man. He has touched many lives including my own. I offer my deepest sympathy and condolences to all of his family and friends.

Alan and Jean, thinking of you today as I read the wonderful memorial to him in the St. Louis Post. I cannot think of better ways to memorialize someone wonderful than those which you suggest. I know he is gone too soon, but resting now in peace and love. Condolences to your entire family.

Jim was a wonderful addition to the Crayton faculty. His love of music and teaching was always evident. Hiis easy manner, quick smile, and patience will be remembered. Our condolences to the family.

I was privileged to work alongside Mr. Wheeler for four years at SCVCS. He was a fine educator and better person. Blessings to the family and all who loved him.
