Uncle Johnny you will be forever in my heart. I take comfort that you are with Grandma, Grandpa and my Dad. Love and miss your smile and your one liners (“Do you know what I’m talking about” and “REPENT!”)...they always made me laugh. ? Love you and will miss you dearly.

John...so many good qualities in you! Always enjoyed being in your company. You always had a smile, a joke or some kind words to share. The entire family will miss your presence...but we will always hold you dear in our hearts. Good-bye for now....Nancy

Many memories for a kind, funny and outdoors loving man. Connected with him on many levels and still trying to wrap my head around his unexpected passing. He made us laugh quite a bit. I pray you and Peter are in a better place. You will be missed. Do you understand what I’m talking about? One of his favorite sayings that always got a laugh. We love you, Uncle Johnny and will miss you. Love, George, Emmalee and Megan.
