Nancy, Kevin, John & family, we send out sincere condolence to you. Remembering Johnnie’s face light up years ago as he watched his little ‘Shortcakes’ run around the play ground. Loved his two little Grands! We know you will miss him and are so sorry for your loss. Sending prayers for all of you.
Really sorry to hear of Johnnie’s passing. I worked with him for a few years back in the 70’s. Condolences to the family.
