So sorry for your loss. Bro Johnny was always very good to our family. He married me and my husband 02/12/84. Ever since that date Bro Johnny would always greet us with a smile and ask how we were doing. What a great gain for heaven.

John was such a joy to be with in my years as piano player for the Sunrise Quartet. His wonderful Christian example set a guide for me as a young man.
