Not sure what to say?

I am sorry for all of you. I always enjoyed our time at family gatherings fussing over the recliner. I bet he has already taken a nap after his celebratory meal in the best recliner. He better enjoy it, I’ll surprise him one day and will take it over! Love y’all

So sorry for your loss. The family is in my prayers.

I hate that he’s gone but I’m so glad he’s no longer in pain. Since he came to my hall he had said he was ready to live a pain free life with Jesus he was just waiting and watching for him to come get him.

Before he got sick he loved his apples and salt. It would gross me out to see him put salt on his apples he said we’ll have you tried it. I said no. He said don’t knock it until you try it. He said now before I touch them take one put salt all over it and eat it. I said, I will...

My family enjoyed getting to know Johnny better, when our daughter, Hannah was playing ball at Forbush. He was a great support through high school and college. He was a good friend, and we will certainly miss him. Tammy, Reno, Johnny Jr. and to all grand kids, great grand kids, our prayers are with you! We love you all! Rex and Karen Angel

So sorry to hear about the passing of Johnny.

Tammy/Johnny,
So sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. Thoughts and prayers are with both of you and your families.

Sure will miss you buddy. When I saw that smile on your face the morning you passed away, I knew you were headed on your journey home. Your were at peace and in no pain. Until we meet again one day. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. So sorry for your loss

So sorry to hear of the loss of your father John (Lisa, Morgan, Jacob). Prayers to you all.

So sorry to hear about Johnny! I was 12 when I meet the family. Always so nice and caring! I know he will be missed greatly!
