I am so sorry to hear about Johnny's passing. He was such a big sweetheart and so much fun to be around. He sent me (by mail) a drink chip from the CWV years ago after I got injured, which I still have. I will miss him a lot.

Jill, Jay and Amen,
We were so sorry to hear of the passing of your dad and grandfather.
He will truly be missed by many who knew him. He was a big part of the drum corps for so many years.
You are all in our thought and prayers during this most difficult time. May God give you the strength that you need, and may He guide over John until He one day brings you together again.
With our deepest sympathy,
Frank and Mary Northrop
