Johnie graduated from Reitz High School and served in the US Army. He worked as a truck driver, a mechanic and for the County Garage. Johnie was a member of the River Bend Association, the American Legion and Teamsters Local 215. He was a hard worker and lover of the open road. He was an avid bike rider, loved family time and it didn’t matter whose family he was just happy to be a part of it. Johnie was generous to a fault, always wanted to shower those in his life with acts of kindness and affection. He had a quick wit and silly sense of humor.
