Boca Raton, FL/Livonia, NY: John David Weegar passed away peacefully on August 9, 2018 while in Hospice care. He was born March 11, 1942 in Rochester, NY and graduated from Livonia High School, Livonia, NY, at which time he was awarded a full football scholarship to Syracuse University. He served 4 years in the US Air Force and then returned to NY, becoming a journeyman electrician with the Rochester Local Electrician’s Union. After moving to Florida in the late 1970’s, John became an avid fisherman and earned his 100-Ton Captain’s license to enable him to run his own deep-sea fishing charter business. He eventually returned to his private electrical business, which he successfully ran until retirement. (Rumor has it that there was a very colorful bartending career somewhere along the way!)
John is survived by his loving daughter Leah Thomason (Mike), son Mark Weegar (Kathy), beloved grandchildren Bryan Weegar, Brock and Garret Thomason and (only granddaughter) Taylor Freed. He is also survived by his nephew Jon Scott Weegar (Lisa) and his adored 5 great-nieces and nephews Kirsten McCarty (Troy), Lauren Johnston (Tim), Cole, Hallie and Reeve Weegar.
A military funeral will be scheduled by the family at a later date. Arrangements Kalis-McIntee Funeral & Cremation Center, Florida. To send a condolence or share a memory please visit: www.doughertyfuneralhomes.com

Sure did love this fun loving, great guy… My sincere sympathy to Leah and Mark and families at such a sad time… We all have such great memories from the “Book of Life…” remembering just those is the best thing to do. Kate Kingsley, Geneseo
Johnny was a super guy, always enjoyed every visit we had. I lost track of him after he sold the Cottonwood… I will always remember him as super guy. Mark your dad was a CHAMPION!
I think I remember that bar tending career of John’s!! John (and brother Red) was a fun loving happy guy who my father Jack would have the best time with. I remember seeing smiles so big and laughter so hard, tears would be rolling down their faces. They are somewhere out there having a blast, telling jokes, and looking down upon us. Condolences to the family.
Mark, Kathy, and Bryon,
So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sending our deepest sympathy.
Leah and Mike
