May you Rest In Peace Uncle Johnny. I will miss talking about the Dodgers with you, or just cracking jokes with each other. I thank you for always being there for all of us when we just needed to talk to. I will miss your presence and jokes at our family gatherings. We will always have the memories to cherish those moments. Your family will miss you dearly, but we know we will see each other again in heaven. Keep a seat for me, so we can root for the Dodgers together when I get there. I miss you Tio, and I love you. You will be truly missed.
Love,
Rogelio Morales (Popi)
