JOHN A. WANKO Sr.

God saw that you were getting tired,
And a cure was not to be
So He put His arms around you
And whispered, `Come home with me.'
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
A determined spirit was at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

All of Uncle John's Family -

From "ringing" in the New Year to playing a hymn on his harmonica at the Old First Church in Philadelphia, PA, there are many very special memories of Uncle John. He will be remembered, most importantly, for the love he shared for all and his helping hand.

May your hearts always be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together.

His light will shine on through the love and memories of family and friends.

I was sorry to hear of john's passing. I used to visit with his sister anne at Burger king every day.
If he was half as nice as her, he must have been a very good person. The family has mine and Ralph's sincere sympathy.

Dear Faye and family,
You have our sincere sympathy at the loss of John. You both were our very special friends. We are in Florida right now, so won't be able to be with you, but our thoughts and prayers will be with you. Bob and Phyllis Leatherman

Dear Faye and Families,
You are all in my thought and prayers! I am a very fortunate person to have you all in my life. The memories of you and John mean so much to me. Sharing your 60th Anniversary on the church trip will always be a special moment that Bud and I shared with you. Thanks to you and John for introducing us to the church. Because of you our faith has grown deeper through the years! Please remember if there is anything I can do for any of you, just call!
Love and...

The world has lost a very special person. May you find comfort in treasured memories. May the love of God surround you during this time of sorrow.

Dear Aunt Faye,Bonnie,Mike,Steve & Families,
We are so sorry for your loss of Uncle John. He was a great man!
The memories I have of him are so dear to me! Making ice cream and then taking us for rides in the wagon, pulling it with his tractor. Playing his harmonica and whistling bird sounds. Going to the Medina County Fair to see him, leaving us climb up on some of the farm equipment. But most of all he was the best Santa ever!!!!
May your hearts too be filled with...

Uncle John. I can remember you and grandpa comparing jokes at the family reunion. I know you two are up there keeping everyone entertained! You will be greatly missed and loved.
