Susan I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Johnnie at Leon Farmer & Company for over 21 years and he was a wonderful co-worker and friend. He was always willing to help you out and I never saw him loose his temper. My dear departed mother, Bessie Dial, loved Johnnie too. He will truly be missed by us all.
