My name is Julia and I am one of his grand children. I will always remember many things. One of them being that we called him "moderation Johnny" because he would also say he could have anything he wanted as long as it was in "moderation". That always made me laugh and we still talk about it now. He also LOVED peach milk shakes from Chick-Fil-A. He was so sweet, funny, brave, strong, and courageous. I will always miss him and love him.
