I remember Johnny from Safford Jr. High; but, became his friend in later years (when he worked at IBM). He talked fondly about Rosy and Roland. He was a witty man, fantastic dancer and he had a loving and caring heart. Sending my heartfelt condolences to Patricia, Carmen and the rest of his family.
Rest In Paradise, Johnny, RIP...
