I always looked forward and enjoyed our family visits to Isanti and Cambridge to see Wheeler and Delores; as a kid I remembered Wheeler had broad shoulders and my little hand seemed to get lost in his when we shook. I still remember thinking he had the best job in the world; getting paid to ride a snowmobile while winter checking the power lines! Rest in peace Wheeler.

I REMEMBER WHEELER FROM THE EARLY '70S WHEN I WORKED IN THE SUBSTATIONS FOR UPA.
WHEELER WAS A REAL NICE GUY AND ALWAYS SAID TO STUDY HARD, FINISH COLLEGE SO I WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORK AS HARD AS HE DID. WELL I FINISHED COLLEGE,HIT 65 LAST MONTH AND AM STILL WORKING -- BUT NOT AS HARD AS HE DID

I will always remember him as the tallest of my dads brothers and he was always very nice to me when we were young. He was a great uncle!
