I loved seeing the photos of Johnny surrounded by his beautiful wife Elaine and big loving family. I saw so much love for him and love from him.. He was a friend to all at Greenville High School and loved and admired for his kindness, big and funny personality and ability to star in every sport he played. He was good in every way. My condolences and prayers for all who loved him. May you take comfort in seeing him again in heaven forever.

Sorry for your family’s loss Elaine. I think of y’all frequently. John was a good husband and father. He always showed up at church and family “stuff”. Was a good man. He was raised right.
