Wallace A. Winegardner, age 87, of Harrod, passed away on Tuesday, June 13, 2023, at 3:22 a.m. at Bridge Findlay Hospice Care Center.
Wally was born on March 16, 1936, to the late Bud and Evelyn (Losey) Winegardner. Bud was a quiet and gentle man and Evelyn was one of the sweetest ladies that God has created. They raised Wally and his sister, Velma Piehl, who preceded him in death. Wally was Velma’s younger brother. He grew up on the family farm, where they farmed land and raised various livestock. Among this livestock were chickens. Any one that knows anything about Wally knows that these chickens had such an impact on him that he spent the next eighty years avoiding chicken and eggs or anything he thought resembled those dirty old birds.
