I had only good memories of Jonny.
He was fun to be around and always wore a smile no matter what. In times as we grew older our time together was not often. But when we would run into each other at a county fair or in passing it was like a piece of my childhood coming back. He will be missed for sure. I send prayers to all who knew him and his family.
So sorry to hear of Johnny passing Johnny always was such a friendly person everywhere you saw him. Sympathy for his family.
I am sorry to hear about the passing of Johnny, He was one of the friendliest people you would ever meet, He was always smiling and could make you laugh, He loved to sit and talk and joke, I have so much sympathy for the family, He will certainly be missed
Gloria
We are so sorry for your loss and hate that we couldn’t be there todays
Johnny was good friend
