John was born to John W. (Bud) and Charlotte<br />
J. Reger in Corvallis, Oregon. Family<br />
and friendships were the two most important<br />
factors to John throughout his life. Beginning<br />
with friends that he was raised with on<br />
14th St., to those he made throughout his<br />
college and working career.<br />
John graduated from Corvallis High<br />

products. He was a member of the Delta Tau<br />
Delta fraternity. Some of his best friends in<br />
life came from the “Delt” brotherhood.<br />
After college, John began his working career as a lumber broker and<br />
continued in wood products throughout his career. At the time of his<br />
death, he was employed as Vice President of Operations for Wildwood<br />
Trading Group.<br />
Wilsonville, OR was his home for the past 35 years. His home and<br />
acreage on Ladd Hill was a thing of beauty where he cultivated his acres<br />
into a vineyard known as Boydog Ranch and Vineyards. John returned to<br />
the college campus in his later years and obtained a degree in Viticulture<br />
and Enology.<br />
John is survived by his Dad and Mom, sister Charise, nephews Jackson,<br />
Justin, Jarett, his special friend Sue Perry, and his uncles, aunts, and<br />
cousins. n<br />
