Johnny, a member of First Baptist Church in England, was as avid Razorback fan, who loved going to the games in Little Rock and Fayetteville. As a lifetime resident of England, he was proud to be an England Lion. As a young man, he was a member of the Jaycee's and enjoyed spending time at the ballfield visiting with parents and players.
Johnny would sit for hours at his kitchen table playing cards with people of all ages. His big, kind heart never met a stranger, and all were drawn to his good nature. He never complained about the challenges he faced throughout his life.
