The fact that Johnny is actually gone hit me pretty hard last night and today. I just can't grasp that I'll never yell Johnny!! again or get to sit around with him and reminisce and share the stories of all the crazy and fun stuff we've done over the last 30-35 years. A majority of my fondest memories were at my house in Kenhorst. He would play with Trystan and Gage when they were little or take them to the playground or to visit Granny so I could study when I was finishing my degree at Racc. He helped me study all the time. He's the only reason I passed Statistics and Microbiology. I probably learned and retained more educational information from Johnny than any teacher. He truly was one of the most intelligent people I've ever met.
No matter how long we went without seeing each other we always had a sibling like bond and he was always right there if I needed him. I don't think he ever missed wishing me a Happy

There are so many memories that we shared growing up together. Perhaps the funniest is you winning those giant stuffed animals at amusement parks and granny having to drive home with them tied to the roof of the Chevette.
