Johnny was a really nice man. He was soft-spoken and very sincere.
He loved our Lord Jesus Christ, and
his life was a good example of how Jesus taught us to live. Johnny was honest, humble, and a man of integrity. I enjoyed playing softball with him. He would always have kind words for his teammates, and when he got several hits in a game, he would talk about someone else´s
good efforts. Johnny has no pain now, and I know he is full of joy in Heaven.
