On January 31st, 2016, Frederick (John) Ameche Wheeler, 78, passed away peacefully after an adventurous battle with life. He is survived by his brother, Skeet Wheeler, his sister, Loretta Josselyn, his children, nieces and nephews, and many other family and friends. John loved fast cars, vintage aircraft, guitars, building things, snowmobiling, chopping wood, and his predeceased mother, Arlene Wheeler. He always had a quick joke or funny nickname for anyone he met. A burial ceremony will take place in the spring at the E.Clarendon Cemetery. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Serenity House. Arrangements are under the care of LaVigne Funeral Home and Cremation Service, Winooski. Condolences may be shared at lavingefuneralhome.com.
