Even though Johnny and I were cousins, I didn't know him all that well, but I do know he grew up with a loving father and mother (my mother's sister), and a wonderful sister. I'm sure he was very special to his family and I hope memories of him will continue to comfort you through the years..

Just returned from an extended vacation and learned about Johnny's passing. He was a dear cousin who shared lots of his photos with me during the past few years. I will remember all of you in my prayers.

Dot, my thoughts and prayers are with you & Robbie. Your granddaughters just broke my heart. They will surely miss their "Johnny". May God keep you wrapped in His arms and give you comfort. Johnny will be missed.
