My deepest condolences to the Wennermark family. I used to work for Mr. Wennermark many years ago as his clerk. He was a great boss and told many great stories. I remember walking into his office to drop off some files and he was drinking a glass of water with little rocks in it... I asked him in shock " Mr Wennermark you have kitty litter in your water why are you drinking that!!???. He replied all calm it's not kitty litter it's just the rocks and explained about an article he read on how healthy it was.... I guess it was. Cause he rarely got sick! I will miss his stories but i was also humbled he gave me the opportunity to work for him. He helped me put food on the table and pay my bills and kept me thin by running to the court house and making his bank deposits. Rest in peace Mr. Wennermark.

Lifelong friends with John, Beverly and their entire family, I will forever remember John's kind smile, his fun loving nature, his dry whit and sense of humor and the love he showed for his wife, Beverly, and all of his children. He was a man of integrity and always had a kind word of praise for me when I saw him at church, his home or out in the community. Sending much love, peace and understanding as you move forward having your memories to carry you through until you are reunited once again.
