Johnny we were pretty close growing up but of course life takes us apart from each other as we had our own families. I’m So sad you had to go so young but God had other plans. You go fly high with the angels now you are whole again. You are with your Mom and Dad Buddy and all the others that were waiting for you at the golden gates. Love you Cuz. Tell my my Mom and Dad I love them and miss them so much. God bless Sharon and the other members of your family that was left behind. Fly high

It’s been over a year since you’ve been gone. It’s been hard without you. JJ and I always talk about you and how you’ve made us happy. We miss your laugh and your stories and I promise we will fulfill your wish in spreading your ashes in Delbarton and Logan. We love you. You’ve earned your rest, Peepaw.

I remember so many things about you. So many memories…driving to the Canadian border just to turn around, going to Discovery Zone and Old Country buffet by surprise. Your jokes, your stories, your laugh….I can’t pick just one. I miss you, dad. I love you.
Sharon. A k.a. Mom says
