John Sylvester DeGoosh - July 10, 1932 - March 26, 2022

Departed: 03/26/2022 (Las Vegas)

Obituary Preview: LAS VEGAS, NV - John S. DeGoosh, Sr, 89 died Saturday, March 26, 2022 following health complications.

John was born on July 10, 1932 to Howard and Nettie (Pushee) DeGoosh in Lyme, New Hampshire and was 1 of 13 children. He grew up on the family farm, attended local schools and was a veteran of the U.S. Navy, serving both state-side and on a ship during the Korean War in the early 1950’s. He had six children, who survive him – Catherine Aja (Michael - Deceased), Janice Bamforth (Glen), Doreen Young (Steve), John DeGoosh Jr (Donna), Lori Hill (Tom), and Joseph DeGoosh (Vicky) along with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and one sister, Nancy Radtke. He is pre-deceased by his parents and 11 brothers and sisters, Colburn, Richard, Ellsworth, Howard, Anne, Mary, Jane, Nettie, David, Sue, and Kent.

He moved to Hardwick, VT in the 1960’s and built Hardwick Motors, becoming the first Ford dealer in the area. He operated the dealership for many years – enjoying visiting with the customers and haggling with them for deals on new and used cars. When he sold the business and “retired,” he bought Mountainview Snackbar though he had little experience in running a restaurant, but he loved it – selling his famous chili, making home-made French fries, and again – visiting with the customers. He eventually sold that business and moved to Las Vegas to live full-time. He worked at various jobs, including selling big trucks for a Ford dealership, driving a shuttle bus for a car rental agency and any other things that would get him near the public so that he could visit, find out where they were from and offer his advice on what to do or where to go while they were here. He taught us all how to play cribbage and always took any points we missed. He made the best sour pickles in the world. He saved his quarters so he could share with any visiting family for use at the slot machines. He loved playing poker, talking on the phone, watching the Boston Red Sox, Jeopardy, and Wheel of Fortune on TV. He will be sadly missed by his entire family. Private services will be held at the convenience of the family

Obituary Preview: October 25, 1956 -March 26, 2022.

Jim Wichert passed into his eternal reward suddenly on March 26, 2022.

He was born in Wisconsin, the fourth child of Irene and Paul Wichert. He had a childhood full of contentment, athletics and time spent outdoors and. Jim has had the same best friend since he was three years old in Todd Schram. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in accounting. He was an entrepreneur with an acumen for business, beginning his business career in the trucking industry, and then changing to retail when he moved to Las Vegas in 1993. He was delighted with the gift of fatherhood when his son James Quincy was born in 1991 to him and his first wife. Jim opened the first Dollar Store in Las Vegas. Subsequently he began to add Dollar Store clients in various parts of the United States, leading one friend of his to refer to him as the Dollar Store Magnate.

During the years after his divorce he enjoyed traveling and spending time with his young son. Dollar Store Services, his company, was thriving. In 1999 his friends Joan and Paul Carapucci introduced him to their friend Kathie Wagner; Jim and Kathie married in January 2001. They enjoyed traveling, entertaining and outdoor activity with friends and family. In 2008 they welcomed with joy David James, and five and six years later lovingly included Katherine Rose and Destiny Marie. Jim was a caring and attentive parent, mixing humor and guidance with a touch of discipline. Jim returned to playing tennis, his favorite sport. As expected, he continued to develop a high level of performance on the court as in other areas of his life. He maintained his love for the Green Bay Packers at the same time as developing an interest in the Las Vegas Raiders. He and his family looked forward to spending time “up north,” in Black River Falls, Wisconsin, where they were able to hike, fish, relax with friends and family and work the land. It was important for Jim to instill a love and respect for the outdoors in all of his children.

Jim especially loved the fall when he could return to Black River for hunting season with Todd, Fred, Bill, Jim, Davey, David and Jerry. That’s when he felt most like himself.

Jim is a lifelong Catholic, and believed in the principles of service. Dollar Store Services has sponsored donations at Christmas for the Las Vegas Rescue Mission and other organizations for those in need. As a parishioner at Holy Spirit, Jim was a member of the Knights of Columbus, and he initiated and maintained the food donation program for a number of years, recruited others, and it remains in place today.

Jim was a superb family member. He was well loved for his generous nature and super specific advice. He was fun to be with, and maintained a high level of interest in the lives of friends and family. He was generous with his time, his advice, his enthusiasm, and his resources.

He was an attentive and devoted parent to his children, and a loving, supportive husband. He will be deeply and irreplaceably missed by all who knew and loved him.

He was predeceased by his daughter Mary Catherine, his parents Paul Wichert and Irene Wichert, and sister Diane Buchholz (Fred Buchholz) of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He is survived by his wife Kathleen T. Wagner MD, sons James Quincy and David James, daughters Katherine Rose and Destiny; sister Shirley Wichert, brother Paul Wichert (Jan), sister Christine Holley (Bruce Holley) and many beloved nieces, nephews and cousins.
