St Peter, cue the music of Frank, Deano, and Louie; Johnny's marching in with good knees. And he'll be handing out flowers to the ladies and joy all around.
Johnny was so loved. My whole family adored him.
Love to Sandy, Joel, Georgie and all of those who share love for this dear, sweet man.

Our deepest condolences go out to Ms Sandy and family. Johnny was surrounded by nothing but love. He was such a great man, always charming and in good spirit. When Italians get introduced they immediately become family! God be with you all now and always. Let us know if you all need anything. Love you all xo
