I am so sorry to hear of Johnny's passing. My condolences to his family and friends. I will remember him with his big personality and always working to help others. I enjoyed working with him while I was working at Giant Glass and we had a lot of good times and many memories. I'm sure his Legacy will carry forward to many. Blessings and prayers

I was saddened to hear of the passing of John. I do not know anyone that lived life to the fullest like John. That constant smile on his face says it all. I was fortunate to reconnect with John 40+ years after our departure from Grahm Jr. College and every time you would get together with him, he made you feel like you saw him every day over the last 40 years. He loved life and his family. My thoughts and prayers go out to Lauren, Cara and Megan. John RIP buddy, you will be in our hearts...

Lauren, Cara, and Megan; I am deeply saddened by the passing of your husband and father. John was instrumental in my life. I don't say that lightly. He helped me to understand drive, passion, leadership, kindness, sportsmanship (even against Hill Holiday). And so many other character building traits. I could just list every positive thing and I wouldn't even touch what he showed the world. I truly loved your Dad and Husband. Mitch rest in heaven brother. I love you.

May he rest in peace

Lauren - we just learned today of John's passing. John was one of a kind when it came to seeing the world through pure optimism. He will be missed. You and John remain in our prayers. God Bless.

Very shocked and saddened by this loss of one of my Grahm family members. I was lucky and fortunate to have crossed paths with John as I was with my close Grahm "Brothers and Sisters". You will always be remembered and in my thoughts and prayers. My sincerest condolences, sympathies, and prayers to the entire family. RIP my Brother.
