He really took care of his soldiers, and not just on a military level. He always made sure your gear and everything was just right, to make sure you were safe. He got to know every guy on his squad. He'd check and see if everything was OK with your family, sit and talk about your problems. He was always willing to teach somebody what he knew, and he knew a lot.
— Thomas Feemster, former National Guardsman
Scheile, known as "Otter" was a 17-year veteran of the Army National Guard. Three months before he died, he was awarded a Purple Heart for injuries suffered in a roadside bombing in the spring of 2005. He returned to duty with shrapnel lodged in his face.
