Bill was our neighbor for 31 years. You could not hope to live near a nicer neighbor and his family. Bill lent us his tools, helped move our heavy furniture, picked up our mail during vacations, split the costs of our communal fence, dispensed advice on contractors when asked, and through him, we hired the same great gardener. During the Christmas holidays, we exchanged baked goods. Bill was a kind, patient, caring neighbor, husband, father, and grandfather. We do indeed miss Bill Wheatley.

I have been the Wheatleys’ in home-dog groomer for quite a few years and have always enjoyed seeing them while I work. Mr. Wheatley always had a young spirit and liked catching up with the latest news and telling funny stories. I will miss him coming into the laundry room to look at “Susie” and chat. To the family I send my love and prayers.
