Johnny, I miss you so much; it is hard to find the words to express how much you meant to me and the girls. You were always there if we needed you, just a phone call away. Over the years you played many different rolls in my life. You were a friend that listened, but never judged. You were a grandfather to both of my girls who just adored their paw-paw. Johnny, you were just like a dad to me. I never realized just how much I thought of you as dad until you were in heaven. Don't worry about Belinda; we are all here for her.
Belinda, I am so sorry. Hold on tight to God and your family. You are one of the kindest, strongest, people I have ever known, you will get through this. I love you mom and will always be here for you.
Greg, you remind me of your dad. Keep up that sense of humor and stay positive. Don't forget how special you are.
Lisa, I didn't get to know you very well, but you seem like such a precious person and I know you were a cherished daughter.
Tina and David, you guys know I love you. Tina you will always be my sister and David my dear friend.
Our two families came together when Johnny and Belinda did. I wish more than anything that we all continue to stay together.
Johnny is up in heaven now looking down, smiling at all of us. He is in no more pain and one day we will see him again.

Johnny, you made it man. We talked about it many times at the Snuggery that one day we would leave this strife stricken world and move on to Gods chosen place for us. Thanks for the kind words when my little brother died, and may God bless your family through this most trying time. I will love the memories and good times we had buddy, and will miss the times at Bobbi Jo's.
Never Forgotten My Man
Love ya always

Greg, I'm really sorry to hear about your dad. I wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you and your family and keeping you close in my thoughts. My dad died 15 years ago (also on the 14th) so I know all too well what it's like to lose a parent, especially at this time of year. The next few days and weeks might be tough but each day it gets a little easier. Your memories of your dad will always keep him close to you. Please take care of yourself and if you want to talk, don't hesitate to get in touch.

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 think 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 that are the most precious.

Johnny, you will be missed by everyone who knew you and your gentle smile and warm heart. The roadtrips we shared in Wildwood will never leave our hearts and memories, we were truly a family. You probably saved our life that nite when I fell asleep at the wheel. The GREAT food and Kenny Burgers we had could only be done that way at Bobbi-Joes. We are so greatful to had known you and play music with you, share a joke with you.
God only made one Johnny P. and now he's back home in a better place. We love you Johnny and will miss you.

Uncle Johnny You have meant so much to me thru my whole life. I am so thankful for all the years I worked for you. the fun we had together at Bobbie Jo's. I love you so very much. I am so sad to see you go. But I remember the talks we had at night when the resturant would close. I will miss your wisdom, your love for country music, and the way you always made my nose happy with the great smelling cologne you always wore.I know that you get to see grandma and grandad. Give them a big hug for me.
You taught me alot when I first came to work for you. I learned that I was someone. That I was good at heart like you. You helped me over come alot. I thank you. God blessed me with an Uncle like you. I will see you again someday. Loving and missing you so bad Sara

Johnny P, You finally have obtained perfection, we knew you would. From the First time We met you, you always were tring to be better, do better and help others when you could. Even in your music, you strived to obtain in your mouth harp your best efford. I remember those notes that you produced with your gift that God gave you. The sweet near perfect sound that came fourth. Yes we knew you would some day become all that you wanted to be. I think that we are all better for having known you. Our Hearts are sad now, even filled with grief. But we must let God heal us and take away the pain. And then we will see that God has taken you to a better place.
So Johnny "Walk high on that mountain" and play your harp around the thrown of God. We will be listening for the sweet notes from heaven!
We love you, we miss you.

Johnny,
Stacey and I are sad to see you gone. I can't begin to think of a nicer, kinder and big hearted person. All the times we saw Johnny where ever it was, he was always smiles and laughs and welcoming us for a conversation. I know that Johnny will have many friends in Heaven and we will all see him again one day. But now Johnny is pain free and can look down on us and laugh at us trying to bumble our way through life.
I know in time his family will heal and always remember all who loved Johnny. We will miss him dearly
