John T. Wirth

(This is a more complete version of the words I said for John at the cemetery.)
A tribute to our Best Man and my Best Friend.
I suspect that most of you considered John a friend and many of you considered John a best friend. There was a good reason for that, John was a friend to all. As Woody Shuff pointed out, John was the hub to a group of friends with the rest of us as the spokes.
So, what is a friend? The Oxford English Dictionary defines friend as, “A person whom...

Great guy. Always a gentleman.

I didn't know John all that long maybe 5 or 6 years but you knew the minute you met him what a good guy he was . I had the pleasure of working along with him plowing snow for Montvale Landscaping and it was always good running into him here and there . In a conversation I was having with Joe Mauro a Local Fire Inspector and a long time Fireman a while back John's name came up and Joe said to me "there are certain guys that if he had to go into a burning building with and John Wirth would be...

I worked with John at BMW. He was a very respected gentleman. May he rest in peace.

John was one of my closest friends. He was the guy that would make time to help anyone with anything He was my MacGyver countless times. John was a lover of practical jokes and ribbing. You were in trouble if he found your weak spot - because he could be relentless! John loved projects - his 68 Camaro and the Seagrave were his pride and joy. He meticulously restored each to their original condition. They were absolutely beautiful when he was finished. John had many more projects...

John was my godfather, and he kept in close touch with me my entire life. I always looked at John as the kind of man who built America. He was tough and dutiful. If we were at war, he'd fight for you. If your house was on fire, he'd rescue you. If your car was broken, he'd fix it for you. Our country is worse off without him.

So very sorry for your loss. Was so happy that we got to have a nice visit from him in November. Your all in our thoughts and prayers.❤
