Did he have a brother by the name of Johnny?

If so, I had the privilege of knowing his brother when I was younger.

Our Dearest Mr. Helmick (as you have been known to us for probably 40 years or so), You are missed. You were loved by our family. My Dad, Neil, will so miss your weekly phone calls (he loved your visits when we were in Phoenix). As he said in every call, "I just wanted to hear your voice." He will again in Heaven. God bless you and please say Hi to my Mom, Ruby. I know she'll show you around up there. Love, Barb Dales and Neil Dales
