I went to Coates Elementary with Johnnie and it's been a long time since I've seen him. (I secretly always had a crush on him). I am so sorry to hear of his passing and I pray all of the family knows that God is taking care of him now.

Frances & Lee,
Like my brother Mike, I have so many memories of Johnny. He was such a delightful child - happy, carefree, and a loyal friend to Mike. I am so sorry to hear of his death, but I am sure that with the "Big C", moving on is always better. Please know that my family and I are thinking about you all and send our deepest sympathies. May God bless all of you.

To Lee & Frences,
I hope you are doing well. Obviously I have been out of touch a long time, but would often stop to think of Johnny and you. Johnny had a lot of good energy!

I am deep sorry to hear about John passing. We were the best childhood friends. I have many memories that I think of often. Woodlawn Drive carries many memories for many families and many wonderful times growing up for all. We lost touch after moving away from Danville but I still have family there and return often. My prayers go out to his family.
