Johnny radiating love for his eldest son

My son Johnny also died March 10, 2018 . He was 33 years old. The day he was buried we noticed the man next to him died the same day. When I visit my son I always talk to Bill too.

It was such a pleasure to be able to cook for Mr. Short most nights the last year. Bill and Ruth were the first residents at Storypoint that I met before we opened. They both have become very dear to me and I was blessed to have gotten to know Mr. Short. His strong passion for his faith, family, and music will live on through the people he impacted.
