JOHN L. YATES

Jan and Jill You probably do not remember me but I was a good friend of your mother and father and worked at the fitness center with him. He was a very special man and well loved.

To the family of Johnny Yates I send my deep sympathys, you don't know me nor do I you but I must share a short story with you .Every since I was 5 yrs old Johnny Yates the weatherman has been my invisible boyfriend ,I guess I carried him to every meal we ate ,and he must've only been 5 inches tall according to my small little hands, my sisters have given me years of fulfilled grief over this ,so I was so saddened to hear of his passing ,so just to let you know your families loved one has...

I placed this link on my Facebook, saying "For those of us with a little patina, our Weatherman was JOHNNY YATES". I remember him OH, SO WELL and have missed his sincere delivery of the sometimes troublesome weather in Kansas City with his calm, grace that I dearly miss, today.
To his family, THANK YOU, SO MUCH
for sharing him with all of us, in our living rooms each evening and night... He was a Welcomed Guest at my house.

I am grateful for the life of Mr. Yates. Thanks to his service and to the service of others in our armed forces, my family and I have been able to lead our lives in freedom and peace.

I wish him fair skies and warm weather.
