I and my family were very saddened to hear about the death of Mr. Johns. He was a wonderful man and I enjoyed his company. He always had a smile on his face and was very upbeat. After talking with him, your spirits were lifted. He will be missed by all.

To the BEST friend in the iron business that I worked with! Who I remained friends with long after working together. Been friends for over 40 years and has been close to my whole family. We love him dearly and will keep him our hearts forever.

Although I only met Mr. Johns two years ago, every time he came into the office, he made me feel like I knew him forever. I enjoyed knowing him and hearing his stories. His smile, that warmed me from the inside out, will always be remembered. My deepest sympathy to the whole Johns family.
