John A. Wiesbrock, Jr. (Jack), 77, passed away on Aug. 4 after a long illness. He was a resident of Madison since the bicentennial year 1976.

Jack was born in Aurora, Illinois, Nov. 22, 1939, to John A. and Anna (Dekan) Wiesbrock. He grew up in the Wheaton-Warrenville, Illinois, area and attended its public schools. He always kept in touch with old high school friends.

Jack received a B.S. degree in chemical engineering from Purdue University in 1962, and then enlisted for a short term of duty with the U.S. Army, followed by years in the army reserves. He worked for Standard Oil of New Jersey before becoming a pilot with Trans World Airlines (T.W.A.), a job he loved. In past years he belonged to the Madison Racquet Club and the Madison Country Club. Jack was a fan of many sports, but golf was a lifelong activity for him. He made many good friends through golf, especially John Ashton of Madison.

He leaves his wife Charlotte; children John W. Wiesbrock (Colleen O’Connor) of Madison, and Sarah M. Wiesbrock (Arnaud LaCroix) of Houston, Texas; and two grandchildren he adored, John F. and Chloe Wiesbrock of Madison.

He also leaves his sisters Jeanette Wiesbrock of Wheaton, Illinois, and Margaret Welsh (Neil) of Good Hope, Illinois; brother David Wiesbrock (Paula Eaus) of Dallas, Texas; and many cousins and nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents and his sister Catherine.
