My dear Uncle Johnny, fondly known to many of us as "The Roadrunner" will be sadly and greatly missed , more than he could ever know. He touched numerous lives and had the kindest of hearts, always lending a helping hand to anyone in need. In my eyes, I consider him a saint, leading a humble and unselfish life. May he now rest in peace and know that he was greatly loved by many.
