I was very lucky & blessed to know Johnny, (my honorary 6th Brother) for about 100 years, & that wasn’t enough time! What a great guy! Kind, hilarious, honest, good through & through.
Pretty sure God put Johnny here to make people smile, laugh, & be thankful for just about everything!
As we age we don’t party as much as the good ol’ days, but Johnny will make our memories party on!
Thanx & love forever.
Your ‘sister’ Cindy
