We are so sorry to hear of Coach Johnny´s passing. I always jokingly called him Jona because my husband spent more time with him than me for years at the ballparks. He was such a great guy and coach to so many kids. Heaven gained another angel. Nancy you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
