I knew Wheeler briefly when he bought the property on University Boulevard from the Orvin's. He was a kind man and he indeed loved animals. I didn't know he played piano but I bet he was good at it. I do know he loved the law and when you walked into his home one whole wall from floor to ceiling was covered with law books and beautiful bookends. The man was a bit of an eccentric, however, that's what made him unique! He will be missed.

So sorry to see Wheeler pass. He was a lifelong friend, as well as the rest of the Tillman family, to the Padgetts. Knew him from birth on. He was very smart and a good lawyer. RIP Wheeler!

Wheeler has been a friend since 1977. Our daughters spent many hours playing together when they were small. I am grateful for his kindness and goodness to us and so many others.
While are many who will feel great grief at his passing. Heaven is certainly rejoicing to have such a valiant son home.

Wheeler and I were classmates at Chicora High School and he was my attorney' I am deeply sadden by his passing, it was as much shock as a surprise.

Wheeler was the first Charleston lawyer brave enough to hire a fresh graduate of the USC Law School - and I gained valuable experience with the responsibilities he allowed me. My condolences to his family.

My sincere and deepest sympathy to you, Holly and Sammy. Wheeler was a good person. I knew him since our high school days at Chicora. We remained friends for many years. Lost touch when my husband and I moved to Tennessee when the shipyard closed. For several years after our move we would run into your dad/brother during the holidays when we would return to North Charleston to be with my dad. My dad and Wheeler had many a coffee meets during his political days.

I had the pleasure of serving with Wheeler in the SC House of Representatives during the early to mid 1970´s. He was a good Representative for Charleston County!
