Hi, quick question. I have a beautiful antique style ring made by Kim a few years ago. I was just trying to look at his stuff again, and I find the website is gone! Anyone know what has happened? I'll try to find his email address to find him, but just thought I'd ask. He had beautiful rings!

SC: You could reach out to his family and tell them that. I'm sure it would be meaningful to them.

Hi,
I am Andrea Wheeling, Kim's wife. I ran across this as sometimes I do a search with his name. I was really glad to read it. He was a very sweet man and is missed by people like you who got a chance work with him, who got to know how kind and generous he was. I always appreciate finding little bits like this. Thank you for thinking of him. He is so very missed.

Oh, Andrea, we are all so sorry for your loss. I know I'm not the OP, but to know that you searched his name and found this touched me and I just wanted to stop in and wish you and your family well.

I am lucky enough to have purchased several of Kim Wheeling's rings! They are my favorites, still today. I was so sorry to hear of his passing. It's been several years now but I'll bet his wife is still missing him. I hope she sees this post.
