Kathy, I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I have been out of town and just found out this evening. You have such a wonderful family and I know how close you were to your dad. My heart goes out to you.

Johnny was a legend. I had the pleasure of being his customer and his friend. When I met his family I realized the depth of his blessings. Thank you for sharing your father, husband and "pawpaw". So many of the school community were out of town at a conference and were unable to attend his service. We loved you Johnny. Thank you for your generous spirit, your smile, and your friendship.

My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Taking from Keith's analogy....what an amazing novel God wrote for Papaw!!!! Angela, Amy, Keith, and Lori have been so blessed to have such a special papaw as I was to have such a special father-in-law. I smile when thinking of his laughter and smiles....
Peace be with you,
