John Wikberg Obituary
JW or Bill, as he was known by many, was a kind, thoughtful and honest man. He was always willing to help others and bring people together. At family gatherings, he would always toast "I love you all." And we loved him! He always saw the good in people. We were so proud of him and the man that he was.
He was a member of the Coral Ridge Yacht Club, Fort Lauderdale Surf and Beach Club and a board member on the Ft Lauderdale Navy League.
He is preceded in death by his 2nd wife Jane T. Spray Wikberg and his sister Terry Lutz. Bill is survived by his three children, Suzanne Ross, Christina Wikberg and John William Wikberg Jr.; grandson, James Dunbar Ross IV.; his older sister, Britt Kihn and Jane's stepson, Philip Spray.
Visiting hours will be on Wednesday, 12/18 and Thursday, 12/19 from 5-8pm at Baird-Case Jordan-Fannin Funeral Home. Interment will take place on Friday, 12/20 at 10am at South Florida National Cemetery, Lake Worth.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Ft. Lauderdale Navy league.

I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Mr. Wikberg and Christine for almost 10 years now, and they are "good" people, so hard to find now a days.
Mr. Wikberg was always happy with a smile, always sure to ask you how you were doing, and always offering a helping hand.
My condolences to the entire family, as I too know the pain and sadness of losing the company of my father, but rest assured in the knowledge that you will forever continue to feel his spiritual presence as he watches over and guides you from Heaven above.

Mr. Wikberg was one of a kind with his quick wit and dry sense of humor inspiring me to come up with a funny story when I stopped in the office. Luckily for me and many others his daughter Christine is a chip off the old block with her sense of humor and great laugh! It was an honor to know Mr. Wikberg, deepest sympathy and love to the family, Christina Salvatore and Elaine Palombo

About 20 years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Wikberg. His quiet and dry sense of humor along with business smarts and a great smile quickly inspired me to come up with something interesting or a funny joke to make him laugh when I stopped in the office. One of a kind person that they stopped making a long ago and happy his daughter Christine is a chip off the old block! My pleasure to know them both as well as my mother Elaine. Sending prayers of healing to family

I understand the sadness in your loss.
My family, Max Margolis and Faye Margolis-Deceased, had a business and friendship relationship with John and family for many, many years.
His gentle and knowledgeable ways will be missed.
