I am very sorry for your loss. Mr. Wimer (as I know him) was my 11th grade Economics teacher. This was one of my favorite classes, and he made it so interesting.
In working today, a client of mine has the same last name, making me think of Mr. Wimer. I decided to see if he was around, retired, etc., and saw the obituary. I remember him with fondness. Again, my sincere condolences. Jim Manton MN Class of 1976.
