Dear Johnny,
What a wonderful friend and neighbor you had been to our family. I have such wonderful memories of you helping us haul hay that one year (Jeanne and I really appreciated your help)!!! And the delicious vegtables from your garden in High Valley. I remember being out in the fields with my Dad sometimes in the evenings and you would be headed up to your Ranch in your brown pick-up truck for the weekend. And the New Years Eve party you and Frances spent with us that one year. Such good memories. We'll miss you Johnny, but you will never be forgotten. May God Bless You in your new home.
Your Friend and Neighbor,
Linda

I feel blessed to have known my grandfather for so long. He was a hard working, productive and intelligent man. He strived for excellence in every endeavor he pursued. He was committed to preserving the natural world, and made valuable contributions to his community. Most of all, I am thankful for the love he gave to his family. He wanted his loved ones to live their best life. Grandpa, your legacy lives on, and we shall never forget you.

Dear Francis, Ann, & Family,
Me and my family help carry your sorrow for the passing of Johnny. We also celebrate his life. Johnny was one of the most unselfish people I have met in this life. Like a good neighbor, Johnny was always there to help the Stone Family in every way he could. No where is there a better friend. Johnny lived a little over a year than Dad and it makes me happy to know that the two of them are now talking about the good times! Please let us know if there is ever anything we can do for you. This message comes from the heart and to us, you have always been family.
May God always bless you and we are so happy you have been such a big part of our lives!
Love from Ron, Alice, & Family

John (Johnny) was a great friend to the Stone Family.
He was ALWAYS there to lend a helping hand, stop by for a cup of coffee, or bring over vegetables to my Mom and Dad. I'll NEVER forget him coming over and helping us haul hay out of the fields and put it in the barns. He was SO generous and always concerned how you and your family were doing. We will miss him SO much. I hope he and my Dad are having a great visit AGAIN!
