Uncle Johnny was the happy go lucky mountain loving, wine making, and awesome harmonica playing Uncle. I spent a little time with him not too long ago where he entertained us with so many wonderful songs. I will miss his smile and big hugs. I know that your Dad is now with your Mom. I miss my Dad every single day. They leave very special footprints in our hearts that cannot erase the love of a Mother or that of a Father. I am SO sorry I cannot attend his funeral. My thoughts and prayers will be with all of you. Love, your cousin, Gina
