The Family of John Wollack##imported-begin##Charlene Werner##imported-end##
Dear Charlene, Bill and family,
We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. My father, Ed has so many stories he tells us of your Dad and Mother. I can remember when I was a little girl and your Dad would come for a visit in St. Cloud and we were always so happy to see him. I know my Mom, Agatha,(your Mom and Dad called her "Greta") and Dad shared many happy memories of your family for so many years. I can't thank you enough Charlene and Bill for bringing your Dad to the family union in 2002 in Minnesota. I think I can speak for everyone that was there that day; they were so glad you all came especially seeing your Dad. You are always in our thoughts and prayers and we will be thinking of you now and share this loss with you. I know my Dad will miss his brother dearly. May God be with your family.
Love, Lorraine (daughter of Edward A. and Agatha Wollack) and Rich Ring

I was privileged to have lived on Buena Vista just East of John and Ruth while growing up in the 70s and for many years afterward. I remember their daily bike rides and walks past the house as well as the sight (for many years) of their black Chevrolet Caprice rolling on by...In 1978, after a bike accident John had had, I helped them by mowing their lawn that Summer.
More recently, I was able to visit with John while he was under the care of the Werners at his Buena Vista home and was flattered to learn that he had been thinking of me. His passing saddens me, for of all of our neighbors on the street, he has left with me the warmest of memories. He always said my name slowly "Maarrk" I will miss you John, but know you are again with Ruth and in the presence of God.##imported-begin##Mark Miller##imported-end##

Your parents were very nice people to know. I would see them on the bike path in SpringLake and at Meijer's in Grand Haven when I was working. I miss going by their home also and seeing them. My Dad landscaped the property before the lawn was put in.
I know that they are both in a bette place and not suffering.
May God Bless the family at this time of loss.

Dear cousins and family,
I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so glad and thankful that I finally go to meet your dad at the Wollack family reunion a few years back. Your dad reminded me of my dad - so many of the same mannerisms. It is a memory of admiration I will treasure. May God bless you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Charlene and Bill and all family members and relatives. Mr. Wollack was a very intersting person who I enjoyed very much listening to his stories about Notre Dame and his adventures on the Great Lakes. He lived a long and fulfilling life.
