Johnny was my cousin. We shared the same great grandparents. Although we grew up in different parts of the state, our families were always close. Johnny was a great person who will be missed.
Prayers for peace to Mary Ann, Kim, Debbie and the rest of the family. Johnny and I affectionately called each other “cuz” and he was a huge fan of my dad “Uncle James”. I have fond memories of visiting the family as a child and Johnny giving me my first ride on a motorcycle. I will miss him and his humor.
