Sincere condolences to "Johnny's" family and especially to "Flo". I remember Johnny from the early 1930's when he and his family were our neighbors on Sandall Place. Johnny loved to march up and down the back yard pretending to be a Drum Major. I also recall brother Bill struggling to carry home his band instrument. Johnny and I maintained our local baseball diamond using chicken wire to make a back drop, lime from the outhouses for baselines and limestone slabs for bases. We also played MumblyPeg and marbles in the Brayden driveway. So long old buddy.
