So many fun memories.   You were a great neighbor and friend.  Can’t believe I was only 5 years when we met.  We had many great adventures.  Camping trips, playing in the snow, going to the beach, going to the park,  playing in the tent that you set up for us and stick ball in the driveway.  Can’t ever forget all of the great Fourth Of July parties.  What a great family gathering.   You were even my Tax man!  Times I will never forget and will always hold close to my heart! Thank you for being my friend and neighbor.  Rest In Peace my friend.  💋🙏🏼💞

Some of my favorite memories with Uncle Johnny the past few
years was going out for coffee and donuts.  We went to several of
the small mom&pop places in Downey and one in South Gate.  When we walked in, they recognized him and started getting his order.  I always looked forward to the good talks along with the
coffee and donuts.   The last time I was with him was the end of
April and he wasn't feeling well but he put on his slippers and we went out for coffee.
Nice memories of Uncle Johnny.

Johnny had a fun sense of humor.  I admire the bond that he and Mike had.  The two of them did work together at our house some years back.  The fireplace remains a reminder and a tribute of the job they did and the fun they had doing it together.  Johnny leaves behind a great legacy.  He was always proud of his family and especially proud of his grandchildren.  Johnny was a man of respect.  We can all remember the Holiday bar-b-ques, and seeing Johnny supervise his brothers Nick and Pat as they cooked.   Now, his memory will live on as he, again, meets up with his brothers and sisters in the great hereafter.  May you find peace with God in eternity John.  Rest well. 

Caylie,
