I am glad to see that the guest book is still on line. I was thinking of John and his humor today and that grin he'd always have on his face! I tresured his friendship over the years I worked with him. Rest in peace John.

It's so nice to see that this site is still available. My thanks to the family for keeping the book going. I still think of John all the time and have even more so in the last few months, as I'm reminded that it's been two years now. His friendship continues to support me, as I often find myself laughing or smiling about some silly memory or considering how he might have responded in a given situation. Love to the family,

I went to school with John in Lake Placid. I remember in 6th grade before school started we would all play outside and use a Hockey net and tennis balls and our baseball gloves the someone would be "goalie" and we would line up and take turns trying to score. If you scored you could then be the goalie and so on. I remember John was pretty good at it. We were not close friends, but I remember him as friendly.

It has been almost 4 months since John has left us and I am just beginning to realize that I won't ever be able to pick up the phone to just say hi or make plans for us to get together after work. Even though I had only known John for less than 2 years, he quickly became a close friend. I will always cherish the memories made over that short time, including the many laughs shared over drinks, the more serious conversations about life, and even the daily question, "what did you have for lunch tody?" I am glad that John and I grew close during our time working together, and even closer after he left Wildwood. The hardest part for me is that he never had the chance to meet our son, Joshua who was born days following John's passing. John was a tremendous support for me during my pregnancy and I know he would have become a special person in my son's life. We miss you John and you will never be forgotten.

It seems like it might finally be time to “bite the bullet” and make an entry to John’s guest book. John was more than a friend to our family. He was a fixture. He was at different times a coworker, a roommate, a fishing buddy and “Uncle” John to the kids. But most of all he was a friend.
John began having Sunday dinners at our home many years ago. It began as a football ritual, a few beers and a bowl of chili while watching “the game”. Then it became a game of chess and a homemade dinner (usually not the preferred meatloaf but always expanded his food horizons…). In the summer the visits continued and he participated in one on one whiffle ball tournaments and fishing. When John came down to fish in the creek on a Friday afternoon, he would stop in for a beer and he would receive his weekly invitation for Sunday dinner but he always required a phone call on Sunday (not too early…) to make the final invite and review the menu so that he could compare it with his other weekend “family”.
I don’t remember when John started coming to our home for Christmas but this again became part of his “routine”. Christmas eve at the Warrington’s and Christmas at the Kirby’s…a nap was always necessary because of the late night festivities the previous evening. John was in a “head to head” competition with another one of our friends for the kid’s favorite “uncle” award every year. He learned how to gain favor with the kids by getting tips on presents and always lost graciously when playing dinner time “Table Trivia” his questions obviously much more challenging then the kids.
I remember John’s reluctance to hold the kids when they were new borns and when he finally gave in, his obvious discomfort…After his death we were watching old videos with the kids and came upon one of John reading to our son Jack. Jack was probably about a year and a half and John is reading the classic “Everyone Poops” during a period when we were trying to get Jack potty trained. John was more than a friend, he was part of our family…
John’s passing has impacted our children in ways we could not have anticipated. We have found that Jack is an incredibly sensitive child and that Megan has an inner strength and an ability to overcome the bad times.
We have not totally accepted the passing of our friend John. It has been a busy summer with lots of distractions. But now it is fall. It is time to make chili and hang out with our friend…and even though he won’t be there in person I know he will be there in spirit. And as soon as it is cool enough, we will make meet loaf and toast to our friend John. We love you John and miss you.

I really will miss John. Thanksgiving will never be the same without him. My memory of him will be him waiting for Geoff and I at the train station looking like he just got up (which was probably true). Then Geoff and he would begin to pick on each other. John was always kind to me and I will miss his quirky sense of humor.
The family has set up a website for John with pictures and the video that was shown at his service: http://www.johnwisner.com

I think that John could have been one of the best uncles i could have asked for
when i was younger, i could never remember which "new york" uncle was which, so i called John "the funny uncle" which i think suited him well.
he was always joking around, but he knew when to be serious.
i will always remember waiting for him to arrive at my grandma's house
i would always be so excited, and when he got there, he'd always tease me
and i could never have any good come backs, so i would always just let it slide
but i'll never forget that kind of smug look he always had on his face
it was nice, and i had always liked it.
i'm sure everyone who knew john will miss him, but it really helped me to see how many people loved him.
thanks to you all.

Mrs. Wisner, Geoff, Keith,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you all. I grew up just down the street in Lake Placid and have wonderful memories of our youth together thru high school. Bucky was always there to make us all laugh. I was lucky enough to see him
this summer at the Fisher event and as always it was fun to be with Bucky. I hope these messages help you through your grief.

Mrs. Wisner, Keith, and Geoff--
I wish to express my heartfelt condolences to you at this untimely passing of John (Bucky). I've not been in Lake Placid for decades (when I skated and lived there for 7th and 8th grade) but am struck by the beautiful memories shared by those who have known him most recently. I pray that you will find peace from the knowledge that he grew to be a fine man, obviously loved and appreciated. May God Bless You and Keep You.

To the Wisner's,
My heart felt condolences for your loss. My early years were helped defined by my friendship with Bucky. Through the years we lost touch but we were able to get reconnected at the Fisher's golf tournament. My years in Lake Placid and hanging with Bucky were true testaments of friendship and I'll always remember them. Mrs. Wisner I truly know how hard it is and I'm sorry for your loss particularly. God bless you and your family and bring you peace.

Mary, Geoff, Keith and extended families,
My husband and I have known John through our friendship with Mary (who cares deeply and is extremely proud of all three sons). I am touched by the extent of all of your losses, first Bill, then Toby and now John all gone within such a brief period of time. My heart goes out to all who are grieving. I last saw John in January. He joined Mary and me for lunch and it was a pleasure to catch up with him after so many years. We talked about the book “The Secret” and how to manifest our destiny. We shared warm conversation and good laughs and when we parted I felt heart warmed that John and Mary live relatively near one another and can be mutually supportive. I am sorry that John’s life was cut short and that his family has to endure such profound loss. God bless you all.

My heartfelt wishes go out to all of John's family and loved ones. John was, quite simply, one of the best friends of my life and my world won't be the same without him. I started a letter to him last week, which I continued yesterday while watching the rain on the Mohawk River. It's a letter I will continue to write my whole life, at each moment when I would otherwise have called him up to hear his reassuring voice. As I wrote yesterday, it started thundering, lightning, pouring and hailing golfballs. Very appropriate, John. I felt that he was once again mulling things over, letting me cry and laughing with me as he so often has. Knowing that John was always there for me, ready to listen without fixing, tease each other into laughter and watching each other as we've evolved over the years has made the world a safer and more loving place. No matter what either of us was going through, I think we always hung up the phone knowing it was OK because someone out there loved us for exactly who we were-the good, bad and the ugly. I love you, John Wisner, and will keep you close to me always.
John would have pretended to grumble about all this fuss, but deep down I know he'd be pleased and touched by all the love people have shown here. I hope everyone in his family can take comfort in how many lives he's touched and how much love continues for him.
Always,
Susan

I wish to express my sincere sympathy to John’s family. I find it hard to put into words the sorrow my children and I felt on hearing this sad news. We have been able to get to know John over the years through many family events at Gary’s and Pitter’s, and while camping each summer.
For my sisters and me, Easter eve will never be the same without Bucky’s annual lecture to us on the evils of consumerism and the over-commercialization of holidays… as he delivered this lecture, he would be all the while sitting on the living room floor with a pile of plastic Easter eggs in front of him, diligently filling them with candy and trinkets (and coins from his very own pockets)!
At the campsite, I always enjoyed discussing recent reads with Bucky, and sharing the daily crossword puzzle. He really shared it, didn’t just hand it over at the end with only the hard ones left!
We will miss him.

To Mary, Keith (Dobs), Geoff.
It is with great sorrow and dispair, that I pass on my heartfelt sympathy at the passing of your son and brother. I never met a happier person. John had a gift, that always brought smiles to whoever was around. I met john around 1979 and spent many days fishing the chubb river with him. he will be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. We both knew John for many years through working with him at Wildwood. John was a great guy- so comfortable to be with, always quick with a laugh and very easy to talk to. He will be missed by so many, but his spirit will live on in each of us.

To John's family,
I am the social worker of the teams John supervised. I knew John for a few years and he was a very unique person. When I first came to Wildwood he was a little wary of how I could be a part of the teams at one point saying to me.."don't talk to me about that touchy-feely stuff." I had some new ideas about how I could support our folks, which John was quite skeptical of. I did it anyway and after a few months he acknowledged (grudgingly, I think) that things were working out. Now as I have been spending the last few days going around supporting our folks regarding John's passing I can really see how much he meant to them. I have been hearing things like. "he helped me, he listened, he was the only one who I could talk to.." and many more. John was a great listener and even though he would still make a crack about my being a social worker, he would often pop in my office (putting his feet on my office mate's desk) to talk about the folks and eventually himself. I could do the same thing (except put my feet on his desk!). He was a good listener and also a great teaser, but a good hearted person. He is already missed. I have prayed for him and I will pray for you all too. Donna Dorsey

Mary, Geoff, Keith,
I'm very sorry for your loss. John was a great friend to me since college and to my wife from the day they met.
I met John, "Bob" as he was known to us, in 1985 the year we both transferred to Potsdam. I have great memories of the 2 years with John and the rest including, going downtown for beers during the day and the cold walk home at 2 AM. John and Big Jim could always be found on the same bar stools the whole night.
Game 6 of the 86 Mets/Sox World Series at Ms. Lisa's
Our theory was Ms. Lisa had to have asked John out on that first date
Bustin on "Nij", "Ms Ryder", "the Grub", "the biscuit", Marty, "Chew", "RayBan", "DK", Donna, "Sneakers", Tedder and the rest
Going for a Busch suitcase on Friday's for $9.99 including deposit
Asking John: "Where ya going?" and he'd reply "Goin to Squirt for some dip."
We stayed friends since then and played golf once or twice a year with Shawn and Jimmy. We'd tell the same stories every year and they always seemed to get better and funnier. I still organize my clubs because John said "Good Club Kharma" was important.
John thanks very much for taking us to your "home course" even though the sign read "Albany Muni".
I'll remember the great times, the great chats, meeting halfway for a round of golf or a day of skiing and some beers.
You will be missed my friend.
Mike.

My most sincere condolences to the Wisner family. John was a friend for almost 25 years.Potsdam seems like yesterday. I will cherish my memories of "Bob" as we called him and miss the yearly trips to Albany for our golf weekends. He was a true gentleman and will be miised greatly.
June 13, 2008
I offer my heart felt sympathy to John's family and friends and I was proud to be one of his friends. He was truly an inspiration to all and always managed to have a smile on his face even when you knew he was feeling down.I only knew John for 2 years but he was the type of guy that once you met him you felt like you knew him forever.I regret that we never had the chance to go for lunch with the team or go out for a drink. Everyone should know the song " In Heaven there is no beer that's why we drink it here", well John if there is beer in Heaven make sure that you save some for your friends. We all miss you and love you.and you will remain in our hearts until we see you again.

I would like to express my condolences to John's family. I was a former co-worker at Wildwood as well. John would often come to the service coordination dept to share information, collaborate and problem solve as we shared many consumers with him. It was so evident how well John knew his guys and how much he cared about them. He was a great advocate and and I know he will be missed.

I feel very lucky to have known John, worked beside him and been his friend. He had such a big heart and he shared it with everyone he touched. I will carry his love with me always.
I was honored to work with John and see how professional and compassionate he was while being easy-going and fun, it was truly a pleasure to be a part of. I was always impressed with how he saw the good in everyone and how he gave forgiveness so freely.
Thank you Dargie for posting the picture of us at your wedding. John was so proud of the man you have become and enjoyed sharing that special day with you. Plus...we got him to dance :)
I have so many memories I will cherish. Thank you John for being you!
My condolensces go out to all that Knew and loved John.

My most sincere condolences to John's family and friends. I will always remember John as a person of subtle humor and sincere compassion. He was an intelligent and supportive co-worker who had a way of helping others feel comfortable, relaxed and understood. I always enjoyed when he would stop in my office late afternoons, open the candy jar, pick out his favorite pieces of candy and say something that would help me laugh a little at myself.
Sincerely,
Marie Awn Gunner

As a friend of Geoff Wisner's for many years, I'd like to offer my condolences to the Wisner family and to all of John's friends. I know what a heartbreak the deaths of his little brother and his father have been for Geoff, and I'm sure for the rest of you as well. I will be spinning my Tibetan prayer wheel a lot over the next days and weeks, sending love and good wishes to you all.

I have known John for close to 14 years and have always considered him a close friend. I will forever remember all of the long talks we had. He had the ability to always make me smile and had the gift to make people smile even when they weren't feeling much like smiling. I will remember our times at Ruby Tuesday's and Maxies. You couldn't help but notice his sincere, caring nature and warmth. All who knew John were lucky and I will miss him.

Dear Mrs. Wisner, Keith and Geoff,
I know I never had the opportunity to meet any of you but my heartfelt sympathies and prayers are with you. John was a very special friend and I will miss him so much. Although I moved from Albany 11 years ago, John and I always managed to catch up with eachother once a year to see who got fatter or greyer and to laugh about our life and how we turned out. As I celebrate my 10 year wedding anniversary today, I am reminded of that day. I will forever cherish the photos of John and all is glory as he watched another friend take the plunge.
John - I wish I could of said good bye but I think you know you will always have a special place in my heart. Here's to you and until we meet again . . . hold a seat for me at the bar.

I first met John 8 years ago when I shared an office with him at Latham Circle Mall. I only really began to get to know John over the last few years when, occasionally, we would have interesting discussions about anything and everything on Friday afternoons around 4 pm, when the building was so quiet. During one of these last conversations I asked John to tell me his dream career; he answered - "sports writer". I'm so glad I know that about you. I miss your presence at Wildwood, as do so many of us here. Your sense of humor was hysterical and kept us laughing for days afterward. You were a wonderful person and are deeply missed.
My deepest condolences to all of John's friends and family.

Dear John-
I know you are happy where you are now and at peace. I miss you stopping by to tell me about the abuse stories you viewed the night before on the animal planet just to get a rise out of me. I miss you calling Bella the STINK and pulling the occasional tick from behind her ear. Most of all I miss you stopping by everyday to sit on my couch . During these visits you would gently pet Bella talk about your concerns for consumers and chat about what was up in life. Thanks for always sharing and caring Wisner.
My deepest sympathy to your family.

I will miss the opportunity to see you again, here, and for that I am sorry. The last time I saw you was at the funeral for John Fisher in Rochester, NY. A testament to your friendship to the people you grew with. I will not forget what I learned from you in High School and College. I could have learned much more from you. My condolences to all.

Dear Wisner Family,
My deepest sympathies for your loss. Though I never worked directly with John at Wildwood, he was well known to many because of his great smile and funloving sense of humor.

John remained a bright light in my life after I left Wildwood and moved away. I could always count on John, on any visit home, to meet me at the Ginger Man for a glass of wine, a plate of cheese, and great conversation about the glorious mess of our lives. He was full of laughter and amazement, and I will miss his unique perspective and sharp wit. I will miss him terribly.

I am really at a loss for what to say! John's friendship meant a lot to me. I knew I could always count on him to put a smile on my face every day no matter what mood I was in. Even if it was just him walking past my office and saying, "Hey Liopiris." I will really miss our great conversations. He was truly an inspiring person to watch when working with the consumers that we both came into contact with on a daily basis. My most heartfelt condolences go out to his mother and family. Wisner you will truly be missed!!

I miss you. I want to call you, but I can't. I want to go for chicken salad sandwich with you, I want to go to Carraba's for drinks with you, I want to go to the Landing Strip with you, but I can't.
What I can and will do, is hold on to every memory I have of you in the short time we knew each other. You were an awesome coworker but an even better friend. I will miss you greatly. This time John, it really is all about you!
My deepest sympathy to the Wisner family and friends.

John was also one of my supervisors at Wildwood Programs. He had a personal dedication to the people he served, as well as a great sense of humor! I enjoyed sharing stories with him of our growing up in the Adirondacks - he lived a few towns away from me (though I didn't know him at the time). My condolences go out to his mom and family and I hope they know the positive impact he had on his staff and clients at Wildwood.

although this is really hard to absorb. I believe strongly that your soul is resting in peace. I will always remember you and all the great chat's we had here at Wildwood! You will greatly be missed! I hope and pray that all of your loved ones can cherish the moments they had with you and in those memories you will continue to live on! With Love,
Renee/"WATERS" as you'd say:)
