I have many memories of my great uncle Johnnie, but one that stands out is during the festivities of my cousin Landons wedding he inteoduces me to red lip stick. We were at the mall and he told me to go buy a res lip stick. He said very classy women can wear RED lipstick. Haha my kids would tell me I look weird without my red lip stick on. RIP uncle.

I am so sorry to hear your dad and our great friend passed away. It's been a few years since we've (the swan's) have seen the Ailanjian family. But the memories I have of growing up in Fresno and hanging with your family is priceless. John could light up a room the minute he walked in. Our dads were the coolest guys selling cars in Fresno!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sincerely,
Mike, Betty, Ray and Cindy Swan

So sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure and experience of working with John many years ago. I have never worked with a more creative and upbeat man in my life than John was. He was truly a "car guy" and is probably in heaven setting up a dealership as I write this. God bless you John. I can never repay you for all that I learned from you.
