I remember Uncle John from a trip I made to New Jersey in '69. He was a caring and loving person who welcomed me into his home during my visit. Sorry I didn't get to see him before his passing. I'm sure he's in heaven having a few laughs with my dad.

For all the Wohlert children,
Remember your Dad in the good times and let the sickness and Alzheimers go. He was a remarkable man--not every person is capable of being patient, kind and devoted to a stroke victim for over 30 years. Condolences to all of you.
