On my first day I vividly remember a tall man approaching my desk and grinning while offering his hand and the words, "Hi, I'm Joe Frank Wheeler. Welcome to Borger." Thus began a friendship with a man who was always willing to help with any story where needed, always willing to give a smile, and always willing to promote this area and the people who live here. I remember the first day I met him, and the last time I talked to him when we discussed the opening game for the Dillas. I am deeply saddened by his loss. The region is missing a star, but the things he promoted and helped build will live on and provide a lasting legacy. Eighteen years ago I was starting a new job as editor of the Borger News Herald.

We worked together at KICA in Clovis many years ago. I was shocked to hear of his death. My heart goes out to his family. While it has been years since I've seen Joe, I've thought about him often. The world will be a poorer place without him. I was fortunate to count Joe Frank as a friend. We worked together at KICA in Clovis many years ago.

Always smiling, never met a stranger. Sorry to hear of his passing. I went to High School with Joe Frank Wheeler. Always smiling, never met a stranger. Sorry to hear of his passing.
