Johnny are you and Kathy playing golf yet and laughing up a storm. Know Kathy and Aunt Mae were there to welcome you when you walked through the heavenly gates and your dog was jumping up and down he was so happy to see you! Knowing you are not alone helps a lot in missing you.
Johnny, your were a very special man. You always had a silly joke, smiled a lot and loved by so many. Yes, you will be missed but you left so many wonderful memories for your family and friends.
We will grieve for you because we weren’t ready for you to leave, but knowing you are with Kathy and Aunt Mae and other family helps your leaving a little bit.
We love you Johnny and you are in a part of our hearts. Love, Steve and Bonnie

With deepest sympathy we send our love to you and are praying for you. I enjoyed playing golf with Johnny when he was a part of my golf league. He seemed to enjoy life, always laughing.
May the Lord give you peace and strength, and if we can help in any way, please let us know.
With love,
Ken and Debbie Campbell
