James E. Wyler

Herr Wyler, I think of you all of the time. I thank you for your service and for your amazing talent with language. I am still fascinated by the way you could switch back and for from English, German, and French in your conversations with other professors and students. You are forever in my heart! Thank you sir for being you!

If i needed another valid compelling reason to be a good person there is no more relevant example of those basic qualities than what James Wyler possessed in abundance. "Goodness" was the most noteworthy trait that made so many others like him. If anybody needed a twin brother or three triplet siblings here it was. l often began many years ago to wonder what type of person would Jim have become had he been a social worker. Personality tranquility might have been out of reach for so many of...

Herr Wyler, I will always remember you and knowledge along with the wisdom you shared with me personally outside of the classroom. I am grateful you were able to travel one last time to one of your favorite places before you left us here on earth. I think of you often. Thank you. Love Christina

If there was a personality suitable for Peace Corps work Jim had it in abundance. If there was a personality suitable for helping people - young and old - acquire some form of solid learning that he was in a position to teach them to learn Jim had it also in abundance. Jim was charitable and kind and personable in a way that made people like him. He was pleasant and socially engaging and helpful to the extent that many of us wondered how well would he perform duties as a social worker or...

He introduced me to the German language. So patient with beginner's pronunciation. Forever grateful.

When look at my collection of books today I see things that Jim might have wanted to read if he had not already known about them. If not already said in previous commentary Jim was inspirational in being a friend and most serious companion of people in my family who worked with him and others in schools. He became a companion of my mother and father for sure with their involvement in so many aspects of education and learning.

After reading the entries on here I have to say that I am deeply moved by the strong connection to and positive influence Uncle Jim had on so many students and friends lives. This was a side of him that I unfortunately didn't get a chance to know but I'm very happy to hear that he touched so many lives while on this earth. I am also glad that he spent his last weeks in one of his favorite places, enjoying what he loved, surrounded by wonderful friends.

May you rest in peace and know that you were loved and cared for by us all.
God Bless.

I can enumerate several reasons to thank Jim Wyler for his contribution to my life. Thirty or more years ago Jim Wyler was an inspiration for me developing and following certain intellectual interests. The same can be said about my sister. Thanks Jim Wyler for teaching me how to like people. Thanks for attending dinner at my family home on so many occasions when I was a student at school and looking for a model of good behavoir to follow in deciding which classes to take. You motivated me to...
