While selling cars at Shamrock I was entertaining a client at my desk while Johnny did some touch up on her car. When he brought me the keys he smiled and nodded at the woman. As he walked away she commented what a polite and pleasant person Johnny was and how we were lucky to have him.
We knew it, he was the nicest and most respected member of the dealership. A humble man of God, and a friend to all.
