Johnny and I had many lunches together. I am sure he is missed by all who were close to him.
I knew Johnny best in jr. high. He was incredibly bright and like all of us wanted to fit in. He had such a sweet demeanor underneath the tough guy exterior. I would’ve liked to have known him in his adult life without the drugs. What a waste to have lost such a smart and sensitive person. I hope you’re at peace John. Much love, Chase
Miss you Bro! Wish you were here! I love you and miss you.
Johnny, could shoot a mean backboard,basketball shot. I recall a game he played in JR-High FT. Caroline.
