Johnny-boy,I remember calling you to ask who sang a song or a question about a movie,you'd call back with the answer and all these years I thought it was you with the answers.(really was Denee)Another fond moment was when I was driving fast to make it to the store before it closed so we could get the Creed cd,you were very nervous with my driving,although I was doing perfectly fine...While I'm rushing out of the car(and you were so slow moving)I accidently closed the window on your arm. I was already out of the car ready to go, wondering why you were still sitting in the car with your arm hanging out, you looking very calm,and telling me "I can't move,you shut the window on my arm!" I never laughed so hard and so long,at the same time trying to get keys back in the car to let the window down...I kept saying,"what the heck was your arm doing out the window?" while laughing and holding my stomach(cause it was hurting from laughing so hard at you) and you tell me, "all I was doing was putting my cigarette out and you rolled up the window got out of the car and left me with my arm stuck..I couldn't get out of the car,your crazy Shirley! I'm still laughing even when we left the store,Johnny-boy still with that straight face just looking at me like he couldn't believe I did that to him. When I think about it, I still laugh. We also had some funny moments out at the desert that I think I'll keep to myself,but I know Johnny-boy is laughing at those moments. We had fun and laughed alot until he got really sick. I miss arguing with you johnny-boy. I really miss you, you little brat! Love ya, Your FAVORITE!

To my knight in white shining armor. Remember the first night when Penny introduced us and you rescued me on the dance floor? You always said that you wanted a redhead with big boobs! then you looked at me and said "Well your a redhead with a big butt so one out of two is'nt bad. It was the start of something beautiful. You always said that it was God that brought us together. It's hard to believe that it's been 6 months since you left us. I miss you so very much that it hurts but I know that you are no longer in pain and in a far better place with our Lord. I miss your beautiful eyes, your smile, your laugh, your gruff voice and even your love slap on my behind that you "couldn,t resist doing". I love you so very much and I always will. I prayer for the day when we will be together again. You showed me so much in this life, so much fun and joy. I remember all the adventures, the camping for months at a time, the chasing elk in the moutains, the making me get out in thigh high snow to pull the winch around a tree (and how you laughed),the exploring mines and our well know cookouts for our friends. Our love was unconditional! I cross my heart and promise to give all my love to you. In all the world you,ll never find a love as true as mine. Until we meet again my love you have all my love and kisses and hugs too! Al and Carmen I want to thank you for bringing such a wonderful man into this world. He brought so much happiness and joy to so many. John never knew a stranger. He'd give you the shirt off his back, the last dollar out of his pocket if he thought you needed it more. And then say he could get more. John had a lot of love for everyone. When he was born they broke the mold! this world has lose a great man! I want to thank you both for sharing your son with me. I love you all! Sandy Lopez

John
Our Dear and only Son, "Johnson" as I
sometimes called you.You are gone from our life forever, but you remain in our memory, from the day you were born until the day you left us to be in a better place.

Today is July 4th 2010,I remembered how you loved to fly the flag, your Dad and I put up the bracket that had been taken down, tied the flag to the pole and hoped it would hold. It is torn, faded and worn out,but it was your flag,we hope it will put a smile on your face such as the smile Tony and I saw the last time we saw you.

Son: we fought a lot but we usually made up by the next day it was forgotten, John you are so missed, I miss the noise that was here all the time, either from your rough voice your loud laughter, the forever Radio and TV,especially when you were watching George Lopez or the Nascar Races. Now the house is quite, just your Dad and me.Your sister is alway in and out, also the Grand Kids, soon hopefully your 1st Grand Baby, our 1st Great Grand Baby, but the house will still be quiet when their gone.

Son, If it is possible to see us or if your spirit is here with us, as you always said that Grandpa,and Auntie Betty were always here. Now you and Grandma have joined them. I pray to God, that one of these days I will see or hear a sign of you and them. I keep looking & listening.

Goodbye our SON, we love you. Mom and Dad (Carmen and Al)

My dear sweet friend, many years back I lost touch with you. I tried finding you, I even tried calling Duncan Pump to speak to your Mother only to find she had retired. Today, I have found you, my heart breaks. John and I worked at Ameron together for nearly 13 years...he even ran over my foot with a foot with a forklift! John was always finding ways to make my life "let's say" enjoyable, from throwing me in a rain puddle to locking me in the port-a-jon he would then stick the high pressure hose up to the window and turn it on. John, one day (by accident of course) hooked my bra after unloading a steel cage and had lifted me off the ground about 3 feet before he heard me screaming. John, kept the control in his hand thinking if he was going to lower me not...later he tells me that I should write the bra maker and tell them how well it held up. I say all this, so his children will know what a fun and loving person John was. We never had a fight or bitter words for each other in all those years.

Carmen and Al, my heart is aching with yours. I truly missed John and the friendship we had. I will keep you in my prayers. John was a beautiful man and most of all a true friend.
