    Gail and family, my family send our deepest condolences. Uncle Johnny will be deeply missed by me and I have many fond memories of him. I always envied his height and when I was young I thought he was a giant. I never grew much over 5′ so he always did tower over me.Kind of funny how I married someone tall and now my kids tower over me. My youngest has curly hair and I always compared his curls to Uncle Johnny.He will be missed forever but not forgotten. Love Crystal and family
