Johnny was a wonderful spirit. I am sorry I did not know about this earlier, as I would have attended the services. I loved taking care of John. You all were very important to him, espescially "the kids". I heard a lot of wonderful stories. May you all be comforted at this time. He will be missed.

Uncle Johnny,
You were always there for me. Your bright brown eyes and devilish smile is forever in my heart. Without you, I would have never learned the what presidents are on what dollar bills. I will miss you. You were such a sweet and loving man. I know now that you are not suffering any more. I know you are now in heaven looking down on us and will keep an eye out for us. God Bless You!!
