Johnny was a kind soul. Growing up I would often visit with him on weekends when everyone was riding the loop. It was clear he had a great family that loved him.

I remember when my brother and I were playing little league baseball in England. I was PCA and my brother was a Jaycee player. He bought my brother a glove to play with since we didnt have one. I have met and talked with him over the years since then. Always upbeat, laughed and had a great outlook on life. He was in my book an ambassador of kindness. RIP
