I have been part of this wonderful family for 5 years now and what I will never forget is the day I met Johnny he told me he hopes I keep coming back. He told me how happy he was that me and Melissa were getting married. I always enjoyed our talks. Johnny is a great man. He always had me laughing and his laugh would make me laugh even more. He is going to be truly missed. Heaven sure isn’t going to be the same now. But I know he will be with everyone everyday in our hearts in our minds and with the endless stories his memory will never fade. I will be forever greatful and blessed to have known Johnny and to be able to call him family.
Loosing Johnny is a heavy loss for so many people. I myself, will always remember his smile and his very contagious giggle. I remember when I was little and I went to Cedat Shack, I was always so excited to see Johnny. As I Grew older I became even more fond of him. Loved seeing and talking with him, and giving him “smooches” as he would say. People like Johnny will never be forgotten, because they have given us so much to remember.
So sorry for your family’s loss
