Dear Joanne and family I was so sad to see Johnny passed. He was always so nice and had a smile on his face when I would run into him. He played drums with my brother Joe in our basement on cedarville such fun times. May he rest in peace and I hope he is jamming with Joey in heaven. You have my deepest sympathy and are in my prayers
