You will be missed, Greg, especially by Rick Wheeler. I don't know what he will do without your calls, your lunches, your poker games and your friendship. I loved the closeness you two had - most men don't develop that kind of trust. Rest in Peace and we are so glad you are no longer in pain. Wheeler Family
