Johnny had one of the sweetest souls...He and I became friends through school and I was always happy to run into him in Longview. Johnny was a great friend and will be greatly missed. It's been years since I've talked to him, but even still I'm happy to have been his friend. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. May God's peace sustain you always.
