He was always friendly and upbeat. He made the sun shine and everyone smiled or laughed. But was also a dedicated pharmacist! My condolences.

I will always cherish my time with Johnny at Benton Rexall along with the relationship I had with the whole family. Johnny always included me whether it was catching Joe behind the drug store while he practiced his pitching, babysitting Joe & Shelly, or just hanging out. He was much more than a boss. He was a true friend & role model. I am a better man for knowing Johnny & watching how he took care of his kids. Joe & Shelly, you are both in my prayers!

Words will never be able to describe what you meant to me. You were my dad since I can remember and you loved me when you no longer had to. We spoke a couple of months ago about getting together once I moved back to AR. I had been back 3 days when I got the message. A piece of my heart broke that day, a piece that couldn’t wait to see my other dad. Thank you for everything you did for me over the last 46 years. I still have the glove you bought me in 5th grade for hitting a grand slam. I love you Dad and I’ll miss our random texts and calls. I know Memaw was waiting with arms wide open. Give her a big hug from me. Xoxo - Cissy
Becky, Joe, Shelley, Aunt Rena and Edye I’m keeping you all in my prayers.
