Mr. Woellner held a number of increasingly responsible positions during his 38 years with Owens Illinois, retiring in 1987 from the position of Director of Corporate Purchasing.

During World War II he served as an officer in the US Army, with an overseas assignment in Italy.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Phyllis; his brother, Dave; his first wife, Anne; and his stepson, Stephen Hegamaster.
He is survived by his wife, Lou (Hegamaster); son, John Jr. of Scottsdale, AZ; and daughters, Dianne Krupp (Steve) of Sarasota, FL, and Kathryn (Katy) Vander Molen of Madison, WI; stepdaughters, Kendal Gladish (Ken) and Kelley Bowen of Austin, TX; grandchildren, Kristen (Matt) Witwer of Tipp City, Ohio, John Vander Molen of Madison, WI, Ellen Gladish (Gerard Barreto) of Chicago; Donald Gladish of Austin, and Richard Bowen and Stephen Bowen of Chicago; and great-grandchildren, Marcos and Edith Barreto, and Bennett Witwer.
