God reached out and took John home on Wednesday, April 12, 2023. John leaves behind his devoted wife of 46 years, Joan. John is the son of the deceased Paul and Julia Kohn Wersing. He was the youngest of four children: the late Paul Wersing (Gloria) and the late Barbara Pepper (Bob). Left to cherish his memory is his sister Nancy Greenaway (Sam) sister in law Judith Millero(Frank) and brother in law Paul Busang (Jackie).

I was a classmate of John at St Meinrad Seminary in Indiana. I always thought of him as part of the Pittsburgh gang which included Bob Logan, John Jaso, Phil Gallagher, John Collins and others I may not remember. They were all proud of their Pittsburgh heritage! RIP
John was a very likeable student at St.Meinrad seminary. He was always eager to help and encourage us. We will miss him. Walt
Heaven received a good soul. I was an altar server at St. Ursula as well as a student at North Catholic HS when John directed religious education there. My condolences to his family and friends. His influences have remained with me my whole life.
I was an alter boy at St. Ursula’s in the 60’s and he was was a good man. Always kind and I think of him often.
Joan, I think of John so many times. He was the best. I’m sorry to hear he passed away and I know God received a real angel. He was so much help to me ….God only knows. He was loved.

Extending sympathy to my 2nd grade teacher and friend as you navigate this chapter. I am confident that Mr. Wersing is now enjoying the rewards of heaven and I pray that God blesses you in your grief.
Heaven has one of the most unconditionally loving Angels now! Love you Mr Wersing!
Joan, we are so sorry to hear the news of John’s passing. We will be out of town on Monday so will not be able to attend the service. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
We have been so blessed to have you in our lives and will miss our “pizza parties “. You have been so good to our family and for this we are most grateful. Our prayers go with you and Joan, we will always be there for you. (Bob won’t let me add that now I can show you how to pump gas)😢 Love you and will see you Monday
