John was quite an interesting character and I remember visiting with him when Vicki and Amy and I used to come to Leeds. Prayers to the whole family. I can remember all 10 of the kids lining up for pictures years ago I will remember him with much fondness

When I started high school, Leeds started the girl's basketball program again. Although we didn't have many fans at the beginning, we always knew that Johnny and Marilyn would be there with Cara to cheer us on. It makes me smile every time I think about Johnny's voice echoing across the nearly empty Munich gym! My sympathy to all of the Conway clan and may you be comforted by the wonderful memories of Johnny.
