Johnny was such a great man and very outgoing. He loved motorcycles and riding his bike. In 1974 he joined the JT motorcycle club which he was part of for 30 plus years.
Not only did Johnny love riding his bike, he also enjoyed playing checkers, chess, cards, dominoes and spending time with his family and good friends. Johnny was the only man I know that watched 3 TVs at once and could tell you everything that’s going on, on all 3. His kind heart and great spirit will truly be missed.
