We will miss you this summer at the pool. Lots of good times, really enjoyed your Watermelon fruit baskets on the Fourth of July. Fun times at the cabin fishing and sitting by the fire. Many fun dinners at O Charley's, Beef O Brady's and Cullvers. Glad our family got a chance to know you.

Johnnie stood as a father figure for many in his extended family. He loved life and spent much of his time keeping busy on never ending projects - thats one of the things I enjoyed about him. I hope I always will have the zest for life he did!
