Not sure what to say?

Hello John. I had a dream tonight on September 21 2025 that you passed away. I goggled your name and you came up as passing away. (God showed me you in a dream).
I wanna say thank you for helping as a young man. You helped me feed my family and gave me a opportunity to work as a contractor for 14 years.


A great memories of you. I had no money for Christmas.You helped me out one year and gave me $1000.00 early out of claims bond and a ham and gift card from Krogers. ...

The love of friends and family and your strong faith in God will carry you through your grief.

It's hard when you spend so many years with someone, to express your thoughts, Johnny was more then a leader or boss, he always would take the time to say hello, im truly going to miss him saying Tommy, his approach always made you feel that you were important. Also going to miss his open door policy, many of times Ive walked in to discuss things, can ever remember him saying I don't have time for you, now maybe at times it was shorter, out of the fact we both still had to work. Our deepest...

John was a great man. Stiff competition, I always considered him a friend.

The history of the Planes family is such an incredible story, and I am truly honored to have shared even a small part of it. Mr. Planes was always warm and welcoming to me throughout my long tenure — from my early years as a young man to where I am today. He genuinely cared about how I was doing, especially during difficult times my family and I experienced, showing a level of compassion that was both rare and deeply meaningful. His confidence in me never wavered, and his support throughout...

Rest in peace my fellow 67 Cavalier. You are a kind and generous man, John. We are all better off for
having you as a friend.

I’m incredibly grateful to Johnny and the entire Planes family for giving me the opportunity to join their team. Johnny was a truly generous and kind man, and even though I was new to the Planes team, he always treated me as if I had been part of it for years. His presence, warmth, and leadership will be deeply missed.

Deb and I offer our deepest sympathies on the passing of such a wonderful man and business leader, devoted husband, and loving father and grandfather. Working for Planes M&S for fourteen years was a real joy for me and a big part of that was of course working with John. It was a pleasure being on his management team and I am forever in his debt for the opportunity Johnny and John gave me at Planes. He will be sorely missed by all but the memories we shared will not be forgotten.

Thanks for making our house hold moves seamless! Moving lives with respect! You are the Best in the business! U.S. Shoe thanks you! Rest in peace!
