Johnny, You helped me move to Carbondale when you had that green Ranchero. And when your Great Dane, Bridgette bit me the first week she was at your house on Stewart. And today is your birthday too. Rest in Paradise my brother.

Well, Johnny, you surely are missed...of all my friends and their older brothers, you were most friendly and always a warm person to run into. "I ran into Johnny Harper today..." I'd tell my brother or mom or sis or dad or whoever, and it's was just a good thing. Our respective families go back, like many here, so I am sad that you are gone, but glad to have known you and certainly blessed to have the Harper family on my "friends" list, for sure.
