Me not knowing much about golf but spending a day with Don Wheeler you can just about imagine the conversation was one-sided, by the end of the day I felt like I knew everything about golf, if only I could’ve remembered all that he had said. He would say to me  with  that smile of his :) “You don’t talk much do ya?”
For the last 18 years or so rather I spent the whole day or just half a day with Don, he would always ask, “ We’re still Pal’s Aren’t we?

“YES DON ...WE WILL ALWAYS BE PAL’S”

We are so sorry .  Our deepest sympathy to the Wheeler Family. 
Don's phone calls will be missed. He was always telling us jokes and teasing Sonja. One of our favorite memories was a ride in the Trawler out into the Pacific Ocean hoping to see Orcas. We did not. 
His golf cart had bullet holes in it. He said it was from angry husbands chasing him away from their wives! Well they really were decals. He laughed and laughed when he thought I believed it.  We know he is with his beloved Jann. Our memories will always be with us. Fred and Sonja Wheeler
