Pam, Mike & family, so sorry to hear about Johnny. We had great times on Lincoln Ave growing up & he was a great guy/friend. We were always doing something together like playing ball, camping out in the back yard & playing football at CIPS lot back in the day. Very carefree days. Thinking about you all at this time.
