Johnnie was a such a great person and a fighter, but most of all a true Gentleman. I and my family will truly miss his visits. Even at his worst time he was always so positive. A great lesson to all of us. Please accept our deepest sympathies.

Margaret,
My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. John was a very brave man and a good friend. I will miss his visits to my shop, but most of all I will miss his jovial laugh. We had many wonderful conversations and he always included you in them. It was obvious that he loved you very much. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. He will be greatly missed by all.
