Please accept our heartfelt condolences, Aunt Dolly. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted, Matthew 5:4.

Uncle Johnny will always be remembered as a very strong, yet sensitive man. A great husband and father who loved his family very much. That was very evident. Yes, he and my Dad were great friend's back in the day, and shared a lot of great laughs together. Someone as special as Uncle Johnny will never be forgotten. He will remain in our hearts forever.

Our Love to you and your family,

I was blessed the day I saw you after many, many years gone by. You talked about my dad Richard and you immediately became dear to my heart. I will never forget you cousin Johnny, you will truly be missed. Until we meet again... Say hi to my dad for me. Love to you. Mia
