I only met you twice in my life but you were still my uncle and we had an awsome time together and I will never forget you because you were the first one to teach me how to shoot a handgun. Uschi, you will have to take me elk hunting now since Jonny is not around.

Mrs. House and Family,
I don't think I ever meet you, but I have known Johnny about 40 years his mom and dad rented a house from my family in Yuma years ago, although I lived in Yuma I hung out with the Bard Gang from Jr High through High School. My memories of Johnny are a very soft spoken, kind gental man who loved to spend time with the Old Gang (Fred, Ronnie and myself in the desert, sand dune and the river.
I'm so sorry for you lost, I know Johnny will be missed by all, god bless and take take.

Dearest Ushi and Family,
I have know Marie and Manuela and been good friends with Gary Womack for near 15 years. I never had the opportunity to meet Jonny in person. I have now had the privilege of knowing him through family photos. I've seen the love expressed by family and friends. I've seen some of his adventures and the full life he led. My condolences for your loss. Thank you for sharing your memories.

My prayers to the family of Jonny House. I met Jonny some time ago and will always remember him having a cheeful and giving attitude. Once doing a job at the dam Jonny and the boys were cooking something they hunted on the grill. Of course Jonny invited me and served me a plate. No A-1 sause or marination. He then turned to me and said well? You don't want to know I thought! Pretty good I said but I have to leave and Jonny said wait and came back with 2 frozen wrapped slices of this wild animal. What a guy! That's was the first time I ever tasted a tracked animial. Thanks Jonny.

Daune,Marie,Manuela and Ushi, Please accept our sincerest condolences. I have known Jonny for about 35 years. I grow up living next door to him and his family at the IID camp. I will always remember Jonny's smile. No matter how busy he was (skinning something) he would always stop and say hi. I will never forget the summer my dad (Larry Bagby) taught him how to waterski. Jonny was a very kind and caring person. He will be greatly missed by all.

I met Johnny in 70's when we were members of the Bassmasters. We spent may hours fishing together and it continued on, shooting together in archery. Everyone liked Johnny's smile,attitude and his charm always made everyone feel good around him. We have lost a very good person who was everyone's friend. Thank you Johnny for being my friend.........

We knew Johnny and Uschi for about 16 years , we live in the same IID camp housing. Johnny was a very kind, caring, helpful man, who was always there for others. At one point we lived a couple houses down from Johnny and once he killed a 5 ft rattlesnake with a frog gig, that was near our daughter Ashley,in front of our house. We are and will continue to pray for Uschi. Johnny was a good friend, our whole family will miss Johnny immensly and will never forget him.

We met Jonny & Ushi about 20 plus years ago. With Jonny's help, our son learned to shoot a compound bow at a very early age. Jonny had the patience and temper of a saint. This world has lost a wonderful man and friend. He will be missed.

We only knew Jonny for a short time, but I cannot even begin to express the joy he brought to his nephews, Steven and Hunter. Even though they only had a couple of visits to Arizona the boys will cherish their memories of "Uncle Jonny" forever. Our boys now have another angel looking over them.
