Johnny, beloved son of Adam and Ruth [Wagner] Rynarzewski, was born on June 20, 1935, in Baltimore, MD. Johnny and the love of his life, Shirley, were married for 41 years. They moved to Calvert County, where they built a home with their children. Johnny started his Federal Government career in Washington, D.C. at the Smithsonian and later transferred to the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center until his retirement. On his days off, he could be found in his garage building his hot rod cars, riding his motorcycle or spending time with his grandchildren in the pool. No matter where he was, you were sure to see his beloved poodle “Katie” tagging along behind him. After retirement, Johnny and Shirley moved to Melbourne Beach, FL. He loved being on the water fishing with his family and friends, seeing his grandchildren when they came to visit, and even working at the local Publix where he never met a stranger. He truly enjoyed his retirement life in Florida. Johnny made his way back to Calvert County where he lived his final years with his cat “Sissy” and his family close to him. Johnny was preceded in death by his parents; siblings, Pete and Tina; beloved wife Shirley; and son Gary.
