Look deep into nature, and you will understand everything better.
June 13th
1 PM – 5 PM
Join us in person or from afar as we celebrate John Wojtyna’s 75 years of life from 1 – 5 pm at the Frick Environmental Center.
We will toast to John’s memory at 3 pm, followed by an open invitation for anyone who wants to share a story or memory with the group. There will be light refreshments and drinks, with both indoor and outdoor spaces to mingle with friends and family. Kids of all ages welcome.
Plant a tree to commemorate John’s passion for the natural world.
From backyard gardens, to tree commissioner, to courtyard beautification, he kept planting for decades and we encourage you to do the same to keep his memory alive.
John volunteered with Tree Pittsburgh, and we can’t think of a better way to remember him than supporting them to plant a tree in his honor.
Share your stories
Everyone has unique memories of their time with John. Sharing them lets us weave them together into a more complete picture of his life.
Share your photos
Sometimes a photo does what words cannot. Send along your favorite of John staring at a plant, pondering a bridge, or snoozing on the couch.
