• John was such a true friend. I am saddened to read of his passing. Barb and the Wichers family my condolences to you all. He was a wonderful friend. He was such a caring, giving individual, giving to so many, in many walks/runs of life. I can hear him and Ron sharing the running trip to Thompson. The bus trip to Twin Cities. He was so instrumental in getting the Seniors on the Run team together on more than once. The most recent being for lunch at Assiniboine Park. He will be missed by the whole running community. I hope the MRA comes up with an award in his honor.He is most deserving of special recognition. Johnny youvwill be in my heart always. May you rest in peace,my very special, unique friend. - Posted by: Marilyn Mouse Fraser (Friend) on: Jul 16, 2023

• I enjoyed working with John for many years at the Rehab Center for Children. All that time he truly cared greatly about the work and improving the lives of children with disabilities. He got great joy talking about his family of whom he was very proud and his many sporting activities. When I spoke with him 2 weeks ago he was at peace with his life and an inspiration. May his memory be a blessing to all who loved him. - Posted by: Mike Forbes (co-worker) on: Jul 15, 2023

• To the Wichers family, I am sorry for your tremendous loss. I had the pleasure of knowing John & Barb through the nineties, back in my running days. John was a great runner, an impressive climber of tall buildings, a sincere, kind friend and an all-round great guy. I’m sure his loss will be felt by all who knew him. - Posted by: Ginny Brown (AFRC Running Club friend) on: Jul 15, 2023
