Still always think about Johnny at this time of the year. Hard to believe it has been four years.

I have not seen Johnny in many years but was saddened to hear about his passing. I have many fond and hysterical memories of Johnny as a young man. What a unique and gentle guy. Johnny's family can certainly be comforted by his history of kindness and ability to bring a smile and comfort to many. I know he will be deeply missed.

John,
One of the sweetest, sincere and loving people I have ever known. He touched the heart of everyone he knew. They say God takes the good ones early in life. That would be Johnnie. My heart goes out to Cheri and family. Johnnie is looking down on you and will always make sure you are OK. That's what he always did. Make sure everyone was OK. He helped so many people.
Johnnie,
You will never be forgotten.

Cheri, I'm so sad to hear about Johnny, no words can express our sadness, our deepest sympathy.

October 2, 2017

John was one of the most sensitive male/man I ever had the pleasure to know. He loved his girls and grand baby so beautifully. He was always there for all of them. He was a fantastic husband to Cheri. I hope Cheri can find a way to go on without that great guy. He will always be in my thoughts as a kind, sensitive and totally giving human being. My thoughts are with his loving brother Jim who was his dear pal every day.
All my love,
Peggy Tomczyk
