Read MoreBest man friend I ever had in my life. Never more than friends, but good friends. I will miss him so much.
He rescued a little kitten in the pouring rain for me. He was that kind of guy.

I knew Johnny since I was about 5 years old. I am now 66 years old. He was always so good to me. When I was a kid, my Mother and I would stop by Peterson's restaurant facing Pack Square He always knew what I wanted. He was a wonderful man! I didn't find out about his death until September 29th 2018 at the Greek Festival. I feel heartbroken that I didn't know when it happened. I will miss talking to him on the phone as he reminisced about his life. May he rest in peace! My sympathy...

We just found out about Johnny. We will surely miss him. He was always friendly and very happy. We have known him for a very long time. Due to illness ourselves, we have not seen him for a while. He will certainly be missed by everyone who knew him.
