Sending our condolences to the family. Bruce and Johnny spent a lot of time together growing up. I remember them talking one time about how Johnny couldn’t swim. They were on the wharf in town and Bruce decided to push Johnny overboard yelled to him swim or drown its your choice. Johnny learned how to swim that day.
Johnny was a kind, quiet man who would give the shirt off his back to help others. He will be missed by all who knew him. Take care in knowing others are thinking of you……..look after one another at this sad time.
