John Fiedler, a stage and screen actor, who grew up in Wisconsin and won fame as the voice of Piglet in Walt Disney’s Winnie-the-Pooh films, died from cancer, according to his brother, James Fiedler.

He was 80.

Fiedler died Saturday in New York; a day after the death of Paul Winchell, 82, who created the lispy voice of Winnie the Pooh’s animated friend Tigger in the Disney films.
