John B. Wing

John B. Wing, 85, of Holley and Kendall, passed away July 31, 2019. He was born Nov. 22, 1933 in Toledo, Ohio, a son of the late Clarence and Utilia Wing, and he moved to Rochester as a young child.

John served in the United States Air Force during the Korean War. He was united in marriage to his wife, Ann, in June 1958. In 1970, he moved to Holley, and he remained there until his kids were grown and on their own. In the summer of 1987, he moved to Kendall and, in 2015, moved to Brockport. John retired from Eastman Kodak Company in 1990, and he also served as a part time police officer in Holley for several years. For many years, John was very active in the Kendall Lions Club and enjoyed playing “cards with the boys.” He was a former board member of the Lakeside Hospital Foundation. John was always busy but, most of all, he loved spending time with his family, kids and grandkids.

He was predeceased by his brother, David Wing.
