Johnnie, Cindy & Lisa So very sorry to hear of the loss of such a great father. I know he is no longer suffering, I just wish the rest of the family had a chance to see and say goodbye to him. I remember him fondly giving me away at my first wedding and how he was more nervous and shaky than I was. He was a good husband, great father, kind and caring bother and uncle. He will be missed.

Lisa, I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. You have all been on my mind so much lately and I guess it was the powers that be. What a great man. Norman and I thought so much of him. Wonderful sense of humor. He's at peace now. Up there with Mama. If there is anything I can do, call me. I'm in the book. With all my thoughts, prayers and love....

Sorry for your loss, he did have a sense of humor. You never know what was going to come out of his mouth as he had many different faces. He was always looking out for the grandkids whenever they visited. I do know one thing he was so lost with out Millie around. It's good there was those who kept an eye on him and his well being. Now he is in a better place with no pain but happiness now he is with his wife in heaven looking down on those he loved.

Johnny Jr., Lisa, Cindy and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Johnny was a cool guy, and he will be sorely missed. I remember all the Christmas's at our farm, and all the snowball battles, the summers at your home in Harve De Grace, and Uncle Johhny and Uncle Billy Fowble playing guitars and all of us singing. Good Memories. Take care of each other. Love, Selma Lee & Lowell
