Sending my condolences to the family. Johnny will be greatly missed.

My condolences goes out to you and your family. Johnny O, he's truly missed and I'm always thinking about him after I left Sancerre. He was so nice and funny with us there. Take care. Friends forever to Mr. Johnny O. Vanessa Phipps

It was a great pleasure to have known Mr. John, a remarkable individual, during my time working at Sancerre. Each morning, as I arrived at work, he would warmly greet me with a cheerful hello while engrossed in reading his newspaper. As a gesture of kindness, I would consistently bring him a diet coke. May he find eternal peace, and may his memory be a source of blessings.

The obituary note was beautiful just like he was. I first remembered Johnny in elementary school and another best friend, Michael Dreelin. They would stop by to see me and you would laugh the whole time. He was simply a great guy! We will pray for him and the family. Kathy

Johnny won me over from day one when I met him. I loved our early morning chats, always a great way to start my day. Johnny was a true gentleman- respectful, a guy you just wanted to be with. Seeing him smile made each day better. I loved the laughs we shared- and our singing days. I am truly blessed to have had the honor of knowing him.

I was a cook at Sancerre when I met Johnny O. We hit it off immediately and every morning would start with me taking him a Diet Coke, a banana, a hug and kiss on the cheek. I can honestly say he was my favorite person to see in the morning. He was such a sweet and loving man
