One of my favorite persons has left this earth and moved on to the perfection of his journey. I adored this gentleman as we worked side by side in our military adventure with the 926 Communication Flight. I shall always remember God loves him more. Johnny you lived an awesome life. May God bless and keep your family.

I send my love to Patrick and Val plus the rest of his family during these very difficult times. I called Johnny my traveling husband and he was my best friend. I was able to travel to different parts of the world with him and we shared lots of laughter. Johnny was a bright star on this earth that is shining even brighter in heaven. He was truly blessed he had his true love by his side thru out it all. He had a very close family unit. Johnny my friend I Love You, keep on shining!

Our deepest sympathies!
Johnny was the best. When I started as a contractor at NFC, he was one of the first to welcome me. We became best of friends and had some crazy good conversations over coffee each morning. He always cared so much about others. I remember once at Christmas time he began to sing. I knew he was in the New Orleans Opera, but I didn't expect what came from such a laid back person. He was truly gifted.
SING JOHNNY SING!
The heavens are yours.

My deepest sympathy for your loss. I haven't seen Johnny in several years, though I thought about him often. We met through work at NFC Payroll. We went horseback riding one very frigid Mardi Gras day with his sister, brother and friends--and we had a ball. It was a very rough time in my life and he was always such a comfort, just by being there, always ministering, not thinking of himself, but always of others. A ray of sunshine! He will be missed, but I know he is with God. May the Lord bless you and keep you. Julia Pendergast

Johnny, you were a gracious person, that I ever know. I enjoyed the time at NFC, special around Christmas time. Patrick here is a poem for you to your dear Johnny. IN MY POCKET
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures, I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole.
They give me comfort when I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you (JOHNNY) that are the most precious. AMEN.
