Our sincere condolences to the Banner family. Johnny had a smile that would light up a room. He was always going on a new adventure. We remember all the good times we shared with him and the Banners in Florida and the Bahamas.

My condolences to the entire Banner family for the loss of Johnny. I was so very, very fortuante to be great friends with Johnny, especially over the past couple of decades. I will miss him tremendously. His wry sense of humor and cracking wit will be so missed. I laugh just thinking of some of the things he'd say. Ahhh, Johnny. Fare thee well in your future journeys. I hope we meet again. I miss you. :(
