Gina and Family,



We are so sorry to hear about Johnny's death. We all thought so much of him. He was a good, fun loving man. We would get a kick out of him every Halloween riding around in the golf cart all dressed up. We remember when he was building our shed in the backyard and he was not feeling so well then. He would come and start to work on it even after he had his treatments. He came ready to work with a smile on his face. We couldn't believe his determination not to let the treatments get him down. Johnny will be deeply missed. Please let us know if we can do anything for ya'll. May God Bless you and comfort you and your family in HIS Mighty Arms during your time of sorrow.
