My deepest sympathy to your family. I remember Johnny very well. He used to enjoy coming down to our farm with your dad or just coming down to say "Hi" on his bicycle. He was always such a happy person and loved his kool-aid. I have often thought of him over the years. Shirley Hemminger, sister of Dan, Mike, and Connie
