Never forget, my first job out of high school was with Jessie Eubanks flooring, working with Johnny, he was great at doing anything flooring, and taught me everything he knew. I didn’t last very long in that business, but lots of lessons from great guy that helped me survive all the days working there with Jessie and Johnny. RIP my friend. Paul

Sorry for your loss. I've known Johnny for many years. I will always remember our friendship, the way he could out work someone 30 years younger, the debates we would have about politics, the love he had for Nascar, and how he always wanted his house and yard to look. Rest in peace my friend.
