To The Bolster Family - Though I haven't seen Johnnie since retirement some twenty years ago I want to give my deepest sympathies to all in his family about his passing.
Johnny was an extremly effective construction worker who had the respect of all who worked with him because of this ability to get the job done. He really stood out from all the construction workers on all the assignments he was given.
Again my deepest sympathies.
