=====September 5, 2015 -- In Memoriam -- Richard Wheeler=====
[{{public:150905wheelermemorial0002.jpg?300|}}]
**South Haven Area Emergency Services (SHAES)** extends its deepest sympathy to the family of Richard Wheeler who died in the line of duty as a U.S. Forest Service firefighter in Twisp, Wash. on August 19. Richard was a fourth generation firefighter. His great grandfather Joe was the longest serving member in the history of our department (1926-77). His grandfather Evert served from 1955-77 and his father Tim from 1979-87. Our records have other members of the Wheeler family serving on the department as long ago as 1893. A memorial service was held in South Haven on September 5..
