We are blessed to have known John for more than 40 years and over that period of time we became close friends. John was an honest decent man of his word, he was wise, logical and had an abundance of common sense. He was a happy very loyal man of principal who loved his family dearly. His fund loving demeanor during our mutual visits over the years continue to be a topic of conversation in our home, he was much loved by our family.
Many people walk in and out of our lives, only true friends leave footprints on our heart, John Wingle was one of those people.
Our deepest sympathy to Terri, Scott, Rochelle, Dom & Dar His grandchildren and the rest of the family, God Bless.
