Sincere sympathy for your loss. I recall Johnny’s awesome sense of humor and easy going, warm personality. I spent many hours riding his bus and remember him as a steady predictable person. He certainly leaves an admirable legacy.

Bill, Larry, Gigi and Terri,
I am sorry to hear the loss of your father. I remember him when he was my school bus driver and for many times after talking to him for his laughter and smile. May God be with you all at this very difficult time and help heal your empty hearts.
