Not sure what to say?

I think of you so very often Jack. Few truly understand that Pan Am 103 Cairn Memorial would not be in Arlington National Cemetery today if not for you. I am forever grateful for your clandestine guidance and coaching ... you imbued me with a courage beyond my comprehension. Together with our dear Jane we channeled the essence of 270 souls. "And the greatest of these is Love". God be with you always. Deirdre 3/10/2023

I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one, John "Jack" Wheeler. I'm not sure how to say this, I might be able to help in some way. I'm NOT looking for anything, I just may be able to help. You are in my thoughts and prayers, Theresa

I don't know what made me think of you today so I did a Google search I was very saddened at the results. I remember the day you walked into the orderly room at Franklin Lakes, New Jersey to report for your first day of duty. Godspeed John you were a true American Patriot.

I was so sorry to hear of Jack's death. I remember him well from when we both worked at Shea & Gardner.

Dear Katherine:

I read with great sadness of the untimely death of Jack Wheeler. His outspoken and selfless advocacy on behalf of Vietnam Veterans will long be remembered and appreciated. Until we are reunited with those who have gone before us, may our Dear Lord watch over you and the extended Wheeler family.

Jack Wheeler was one of our brightest and best at Hampton High School. He was
well liked and involved in many extracuricular activities and a leader
in our school. My heartfelt sympathy
goes out to his family. His light shone brightly at our school and continued to shine brightly through
a very meritorious career. All who knew him were saddened by his passing.
Sincerely, Nancy Harris Stacks

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
