We will miss Johnny very much. He was a friend to many of us here on J Street. Every weekend, Johnny would come down to lend a hand with Bruce's many projects, check in to see how I was doing and to pet our dog Bear, who he great loved and would hint how much he would like to take him home. We are glad he will be laid to rest in his beloved Ely. Our thoughts and prayers are with Gloria, his loving and devoted sister.
