I wish I could have been in Colorado to celebrate an amazing life.  My life was enriched thru many amazing conversations with Tom over the past 30 years.  He loved business, but, was most passionate about his love for his family.  The world is a much better place be cause of Tom.

Tom was my next door neighbor for many years in Frisco. Fondest memories include Tom's leisurely strolls around the block, his grand efforts to have a dandelion free yard - always out there plucking them out. He gave my son and I rides in his old Model T and honked the horn for my growing son. We always helped him pick up trash that the bears got into, sometimes we shoveled for him, and always talked shop/politics with him. He was a great neighbor and will be missed. One evening, an ambulance  hauled him out of the house and we yelled out the  window "we're rooting for you, Mr Wheeler!" Saddened by his passing but still rooting for him. My grandfather would've said "it's the end of an era." (A darned good one too)!

Mr. Wheeler was a man who loved to smile and enjoyed life to the fullest. He was generous and kind. He took me along on family ski vacations in his RV and we danced the polka together downstairs in the basement. When I came to Colorado he was always a gracious host. He will no longer be walking on this earth, but he will be smiling down upon us from heaven. 

My condolences to Gaye, John, Julie, Kent, Jerry, Carolyn and the entire Wheeler family. 

Fondly,
