I'll always have great memories of Johnny. Him and I worked at the Raleigh flea markets for a few years together. He always had high hopes before the day started and would make a lot of people smile and laugh. I'll never forget the time he had an old 1966 series $100 bill. Worth at least $140 to a paper money collector. Well he had it out in a display case On Sale for $80.!! Hundreds of people walked by it without buying it, then Johnny stated telling folks he had a great deal for only $80. People just kept saying, this is a flea marker budding, I'm not here to spend that kind of money. I would say not even for a hundred dollar bill. Nope is all they said. Sorry we ain't doing that. No Deal. I still tell this true story to my friends all the time. It makes me laugh so hard. Johnny will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace my friend. Be with GOD
