My eternal thanks to you Johnny for believing in my non profit and assisting even though
you did know me. This led to thousands of families starting to have clean water and better wells
through the Amphitheater for Humanity outreach from Annapolis, MD to Ghana , Africa.

I am so very sorry to learn of your passing. We practically had the same birthday. You August 12th, me August 13th. Born & raised in Chicago. I have been considering writing a book about the St. Valentines Day Massacre from a different perspective & was thinking about contacting you. That is when I learned you had passed away. I'm still going forward with the book & will hope to make contact with your family. Rest well & know you are not forgotten Johnny.

Johnny had a remarkable ability to be liked and to be real in business savvy. I recently met him and instantly bonded while learning how to expand my business. He became a new partner, and has left a extremely wonderful example to my team about Business Humanitarianism. We at the Amphitheater for Humanity in Annapolis Maryland miss you Johnny.
