WHEELER, Steven Earl Beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away on November 30, 2022, at 75 years of age in his home on Spring Island, South Carolina. He will be remembered for his personal drive and quick wit, love for his family, friends and country and, most of all, as a relentless learner, with a vast mastery of topics broad and deep. Steve was born February 8, 1947, in Lafayette, Indiana, to June Bertolet Wheeler and Floyd Earl Wheeler and was raised in Richmond, Virginia. He received a BS in Engineering Science from University of Virginia, a master's degree in Nuclear Engineering from University of Michigan, and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Steve devoted his career to real estate investment and financing serving as Managing Director and co-head of global real-estate finance for Goldman Sachs; CEO of Winthrop Financial Associates, a national real estate syndication firm; and Chairman and CEO of John Hancock Realty. He was also a principal of Hall Properties, Inc, a Boston-based real estate development and property management firm and served for many years as a director of HFF, Inc. and Anika Therapeutics, Inc. Steve is survived by his wife, Sally Wheeler; as well as his former wife, Paulette Kempfer; and their children Justin, Carter, Garrett and Brooke; his former wife, Martha Wheeler; and their children Gates and Cameron; and 11 grandchildren who were lucky to learn about hard work, the importance of education, and the joys of family on visits with their grandfather in South Carolina. A celebration of Steve's life will be held on Spring Island in February. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial donations to the Alzheimer's Association (P.O. Box 96011 Washington, DC 20090) or the Media Research Center (1900 Campus Commons Drive Suite 600 Reston, Virginia 20191). Anderson Funeral Home and Crematory is serving the family.
