Dear Warren Family,
Johnny was such a special friend as we were growing up. We enjoyed swimming in my pool during the day and lots of nights at your house with "the gang". I can't remember how many times I got in trouble for not leaving your house in time for me to get home before the street lights came on. Johnny was my date to the first ring dance at IWA. I will always remember Johnny for his kind ways and his service to the Isle of Wight community with the Rescue Squad. Jerry and Johnny enjoyed many special times together in the Boy Scouts. Johnny will be missed.
Love,
Jerry and Ann Andrews

My Dad, Ernie Bennett, worked with "Smiley" and his dear Father for years in Surry VA. Both Sr and Jr was a blessing to my Dad. I briefly worked in the same area as both; and always had positive interactions with them. They were "good people". We pray that God's Spirit be upon the family at this time, providing much needed Comfort and Love. Thank you so much for sharing "Smiley" with us.
