Ammon Heckler

Ammon Thomas "Spoona" Heckler, Jr., 89, formerly of West Reading, died peacefully at Country Meadows on February 23, 2021, surrounded by his loving family.

He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Elizabeth (Schnellenbach) Heckler.

Spoona was a 1949 graduate of West Reading High School.

He was preceded in death by his eldest son, Thomas. In addition to his wife he is survived by sons: Gerald, husband to Jill, Lewisburg; Richard, West Reading; David, husband of the late Kristine, Exeter Twp.; and daughter, Linda, wife of George Calderon, Cumru Twp. Also surviving are grandchildren: Mathew, Michele, Jilllian, Christopher, Amanda, and Melissa and numerous greatgrandchildren.

He enjoyed playing, coaching, and watching sports his whole life. Spoona was going to be recognized by the Reading Berks Basketball Association with their prestigious Distinguished Service Award, but due to Covid the event was cancelled; he was looking forward to that recognition.
