John A. Wilder's Obituary
John A. Wilder
DAVENPORT – John A. Wilder of Davenport lost a battle with cancer and died on Monday, July 17, 2006.
He was born in Lowell, Mass. into a large family and was the youngest son.
John was a most interesting man. He was an ordained minister, one of Jehovah's Witnesses. He had a deep faith and a love for God's word.
In his secular life he was a small business owner, a prize-winning photographer, and a person of outstanding humor and energy.
He is survived by his beloved family, his wife, Marie Wilder; Carol Wilder the mother of his children, Marlene, Michael and John; his brothers, Kenneth, Paul, Robert, Richard and Arthur; sisters, Mary and Shirley; step children, Eric and Tim and his grandchildren, Andrew, Christian and Ksenia; as well as several nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents, Lawrence and Catherine Wilder.
John chose to be cremated, so there will be no calling hours. A memorial service will be held 2 p.m., Saturday, July 29, 2006 at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, West Oneonta, where all are welcome.
John requested that only a modest number of flowers be sent and contributions be made to the Oneonta Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, 3985 Route 23, West Oneonta, NY 13861.
Condolences may be made to the family online at www.lhpfuneralhome.com
