Bruce E. Wheeler

Bruce E. Wheeler, 93, of Sandy, Utah, formerly of Waterloo, NY passed away January 16th, 2019. He was born in Seneca Falls, New York on December 1st, 1925 to Alvah and Dorothy Wheeler. He was preceded in death by his wife of 61 years Esther, his parents, his brother Robert and his sister Ruth. He is survived by his daughter, Kathleen of Draper, Utah, his brother Paul (Virginia) of Rochester, New York and many nephews and nieces.

An early interest in agriculture led him to be a founding member of a 4H club in Seneca County, New York. After graduation in 1943 from Mynderse Academy in Seneca Falls, New York he began farming. He later carried that interest in agriculture into his career in banking at the First National Bank of Ovid, New York, where he worked with many local farmers.

Never one to be idle, Bruce was involved in many outside activities, including PTA, school board, Lions and Kiwanis clubs and committees at his church.

A special thank you to the staff and management of Sunrise Senior Living of Sandy, Utah and Inspiration Hospice, especially Judy for making his last few days comfortable.
