Just thinking about Johnny. 
I have all great memories!
Trading baseball cards, which I still have. 
Building things our of popsicle sticks & whatever we could find down in the basement or out in the garage of grandpa’s house. 
I remember Johnny and I raking many pine needles and loading them into that handy little 2 wheel cart!
I remember and will never forget the only one crazy enough to play catch with the football in a foot of snow in the back yard of grandpa’s house after watching the lions every Sunday!
I’ll never forget my friend & my awesome uncle who never said no to a busy little boy!!!!

by Samantha Wegener Rye, Uncle John's niece - "Well, there is not one memory that I can pin down to sum up my relationship with Uncle John. There are just too many events running around in my head. So I would like to share one, I feel, important lesson what my Uncle Johnny taught me.
When I was young he played with me like any other child would and that continued through out my life time. As I grew into an adult he could still bring out the child in me, going back to the good ole days of happy childhood wonder together.
He taught me that no matter how old I got there was still time to be a kid.
This life example never has left me and I hope it never will. I am still a kid at heart because of him! This is what made my uncle so special to me.
I am forever grateful for my Uncle John, his gentle and playful heart."

My sincere condolences to the Wegener family on your brother John’s passing. Growing up on the west side of TC and being close friends with Jim and Tom allowed me to have a special friendship with John. Couldn’t ask for a nicer, friendlier person to share time with. The lasting memory of John that stayed with me is of the Wegener family sitting together every Sunday at Immaculate Conception Church, three or four rows from the front on the right side.  Peace be with you all.

I lived in the same neighborhood for Johnny for many years. He was always sweet and helpful and kind. When my dad told me he passed away I was so sorry to hear it. He will be missed!!

When I was in High School, I was invited to the Wagener home for parties and visits with John's sister Therese.   I watched John help his mother fix lunch and care for the many toddlers that she lovely cared for.   I was always touched by  the attention and kind  assistance he gave his mother and her charges.  He was a very kind, loving and giving soul.   I know he will be missed by many.  The world needs more people like John.  Many he rest in peace. 

I remember the great evening my husband,Mike and our 2 daughters spent with Johnnie,Bernie and my sister Linda at our home in Florida. I can vouch for his happiness,curiosity and joy he had that evening. We all laughed and really enjoyed his spontaneity! Truly,what a sweet soul he had. I am sure he will be missed.

About 20 years ago my wife, Linda, and I decided to treat John to a Disney world trip in Florida. We took him on his first airplane trip, and stayed 3 nights at Frontierland in the park. John was ecstatic! We love seeing how excited he was and how much fun he had just being a big kid. His favorite ride was “runaway” train! He took it 3 times! One of the most daring rides, and he loved it! Another night we had a three hour steak dinner with John. The wait staff treated him like a king! Anyone who knows John can vouch for his slow eating ability, which was right on target that night. They almost closed the door on us! That was a very memorable trip for all of us.
