John Wenck Obituary
He proudly worked 27 years at the Corning Wegmans. He lead his children by example, teaching them about hard work, faith, honor, integrity and kindness. He supported and guided them to follow his own work ethic: "sign your name to it."
He was a modest man, who surprised his family with stories, such as meeting the Beatles before Ringo, or playing semi-pro baseball.
He was an active member of All Saints Parish, where he served on committees, volunteered during Mass and coached CYO basketball.
He is survived by his wife, Theresa; children, Michelle Wenck, Julie (Kyle) Saxton, Anne Wenck and Timothy (Jessica) Wenck; grandchildren, Cyndi Shockney, Flynn and Isla Saxton, Jackson John Wenck Fox, Peter and Andrew Wenck; sisters, JoAnn Grover and Kathleen Wenck; several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
John was predeceased by his parents Clifford and Marie (Breon) Wenck and younger brothers, Clifford Wenck and Roy Wenck.
