GUEST BOOK

Suzanne and family, Ron and I are so extremely sorry for your loss. Johnny was one of a kind. Our thoughts and prayers and with you during this difficult time.

- Dori Stancil, Wallingford , Connecticut

I first met Johnny in 1973 when we both worked for NCR. We became great friends, and enjoyed many great fishing trips over the next forty plus years. He will be greatly missed by all.

- Ben Tomblin, TALLAHASSEE, Florida

May God comfort you during these times and provide the comfort that my words cannot bring. I will always remember how he saved the neighborhood from all the snakes, and fishing into a bucket in the front yard. The time we all escaped the hurricane together and the year we all went camping in the cabin by the beach. And most recently letting the kids run through the sprinklers in your front yard. So many of my childhood memories happened in your home and I am for ever grateful to you both for the kindness you showed to me as a child. There wasn’t anyone else like him on our street and he will be missed by many.

- Destiny

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Johnny was a long time friend.

- James & Jean Crooms, Metter, Ga.

It is with my deepest regrets that the NCR family has lost one our true friends and colleagues. We all will miss Johnny uplifting attitude. He taught me how to fish with artificial worms and that was something he wished he had never turned me on too. I would out fish him every time we went. What a lover of people. He would shed joy on everyone he met. Prayers to his family . He will be truly missed. Your friend forever. Love you, Mitzi
