Wheeler. — Fr Michael.
21.12.1937 - 11.8.2020
Dearest son of William and Kathleen (nee Clancy) Wheeler (both dec). Loved and loving brother of Terrie (Sr. Marie Agatho de Sion ) (dec), Aloysius (dec), Barry, Paul (dec) and Kathleen, brother-in-law of Margaret and Josephine. Loved and loving uncle of ten, great uncle of nineteen (one dec) and great great uncle of fourteen.
He was an inspiration to his entire family and anyone with whom he was involved, particularly as a Priest for almost fifty years and as a long time member and leader in the YCW.
We really appreciate the several years of love and care for Michael by the Sisters and staff of Justin Villa. Also, we thank the nurses and staff at Epworth Richmond for their care of him over several weeks and we are especially grateful to Dr. Andrew Talbot.
