Joyce: Please know that a part of Johnnie lives on inside of all who knew him. Also know that if you could speak with him now and ask him to return - he would not.

Please accept my sincere sympathy. I attended MHS a year ahead of John. Glad he followed his interest in cars.
Best wishes to all the family. Warmly, Pat Bianco

Joyce, I was so sorry to hear about John. You told us in Dade City that John had medical problems. I didn't know he was so sick. I would have visited your home or hospital if I'd known.
May GOD wrap His tender loving arms around you and give you peace.

I was so sorry to hear about Johnny. Never see a car show that I don't think of you all. I have often wondered where you were and what you were doing. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayers will be with you. Paula
