Johnny remains Bob & Scott's best friend. We would often dine together and enjoy his keen wit and great sense of humor. Johnny has not left us alone for he is now part of that great cloud of witnesses who will help us to persevere as he has now overcome all of the pain he so gracefully endured.

Jackie and family. I only remember Johnny as a young boy but I well remember you and John Lewis as a young couple that I admired. I feel your grief as I also lost my oldest daughter at the age of 10 years. My prayers are with you and your family at this time. God bless you all.
