Judy and family, Dennis and I are so very sorry for your loss. Johnny was a good and decent, respectful man. He will be so missed my many. I will always remember him from long ago and then in recent years fun times at the concerts in Burr Ridge. May he be resting in peace in the loving arms of our dear Lord Jesus Christ. Love and warm hugs to you Judy and to your family.
