Mary & Family just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear that Johnny passed away. I know he is in a better place now with God and most importantly he is not in pain any more. I remember when Johnny would come into Physical Therapy and call us all his little fillies! He was just a joy to know! Mary my prayers are with you and your family!

Johnny was our nephew, and we had many enjoyable times together when we'd come to Charlotte to visit family. He had such a ready sense of humor and always laughed a lot.
His passing leaves a hole in many lives.

Johnny Ray and myself shared many wonderful times and experiences together growing up; hunting, fishing and exploring the creeks and hills within hiking distances from our homes. We continued to deer hunt in Anson County when time would permit. He will be greatly missed.
