Johnnie was a brother to five siblings and a husband married to his wife Christel for over 60 years, father of four sons Doug, Hans, John and Steven, grandfather, great grandfather and retired disabled US Army veteran of 33 years. He was the strongest, loving and caring man in our lives. Johnnie worked hard his entire life from a kid helping his family on their farm in Kentucky and working with his dad driving trucks until he joined the army in 1954 and traveled all over the world and then retired in 1987 as a Chief Warrant Officer 4. He always took care of his family and made sure they had a place to call home. His sarcastic sense of humor would get you every time. He always new what to say to get a rise out of you.
He will be dearly missed by all of his family and friends.
