Not sure what to say?





I had the pleasure of working with "Pinky" at NARF in the late 70's and early 80's. Never had more fun working with anyone. He was truly an original.

Dear Kathy, Linda Lea and families,

We send our heartfelt sorrow for the passing of Uncle Johnny. We will forever remember our family visits together and especially that smile that only Uncle Johnny could flash. His infectious laughter is etched into my memories and the Porter Family Reunions with all of you. God Bless you all! And may Uncle Johnny rest in peace.

Always with love,
Debbie (Twiss) Rioux and family
