The family wish to thank the caring and supportive 3rd floor staff at Parkwood Hospital Western Counties Wing Kent/ Essex for their wonderful, considerate care during the past few months. Glenn enjoyed his time in the woodworking shop and a special thanks to Bev. Glenn was a 26 year survivor of heart bypass surgery and donated his body for research. A private family gathering will be followed by a Celebration of Life in the summer. Donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation will be appreciated.

May you find peace in how much Mr Wheeler loved his life and family, and how he left this world knowing he was not alone and loved. You are in my thoughts as always . Kathy
We were so sorry to hear of Glenn's passing. My family and I recall our last get together at Mac Parker's farm for the Parker/Edwards family reunion back in the summer of 2004. It was a great event with great people, not the least of which were Glenn and Lois. Our best wishes to everyone and love and support to the whole family. Enjoy Every Day! David W. B. Parker (Lois' 2nd cousin once removed, or so they say) and family
Dear Lois and Family Our deepest sympathies on the loss of your husband. My daughter Melissa has told me a great deal of wonderful things about her adopted grandparents since she has been with David. They were so thrilled to be getting a cradle made by Glenn for Lily. It will be such a wonderful memory of him and one that Lily can have forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sorrowful time. Lorrie Fern and Michael Haigh
Dear Lois Our deepest sympathy to you and all your family on the loss of Glenn. Larry and I really enjoyed the many times, meals and trips that we had with you and Glenn including our trips to the Green Frog. Also, we have fond memories of the trips with you and Glenn in your motorhome to Grand Bend and Goderich. Larry often mentions how Glenn started the small group of friends at the coffee shop. It's thanks to Glenn that the group has now grown to a larger group of wonderful friends. Glenn is truly missed. Sincerely, Larry & Velma Reddon
