John R. Wetherbee

Wow i just saw this while viewing WTOC 70 years of broadcasting. "Big" John was a great weatherman and person. I once got to speak to him at our Kroger store here in Hinesville, Georgia. Rest in the arms of our Lord John. Bruce Wood in Hinesville, Georgia

He was a big sweetheart, may he rest in peace! May Jesus have John in his arms!

Always incredibly positive ... always with a smile on his face. That is how I will remember longtime friend and incredible radio & TV talent, Big John Wetherbee. I always teased 6-foot-9-inch Big John about the accuracy of his weather reports. I would tell him, "Of course, you are always right about the weather ... your head is in the clouds. Who needs radar?" John was such a nice guy that if he ever bought a house next door to Fred Rogers, the community would no doubt become known as "Mister Wetherbee's Neighborhood." RIP Big John.
