My uncle johnny, I have nothing but good memories of you. Johnny was the best uncle ever, he always made me laugh. Johnny use to glue coins to the sidewalk or front porch of his home and watch people try to pick them up. He use to wrap my Christmas gift in a whole roll of tape and laugh while I sat for an hour trying to undo all the tape. My uncle johnny had a great sense of humor, he could always make me laugh, no easy task. He loved his pets and always had a squirrel, or a dog or something he was raising or taking care of. We use to dance in his living room and Johnny had a certain dance he always did that made us laugh. I will miss my uncle Johnny so much, I will miss our chats every week and listening to him tell me what he has been doing. Normally this only consisted of what he was going to fix for lunch or breakfast depending on the time and what Duke his dog was doing. I love you uncle Johnny and it will hurt not hearing your voice again. I know you were in a lot of pain and God has replaced that pain with joy and happiness. I will think of you every day and as long as I do that you will never be forgotten and you will always be with me. I love you, Sandy

Heaven's not a place you go when you die, its a place you go when you finally feel alive. So live for every moment, never have regrets, and love with all your heart! I did not know Uncle Johnny for very long, just for a few years, but from what I knew of him was that he was a hard working man who earned everything he had and that he loved his wife Anita very much, which I experienced that beautiful day when we visited her. Johnny has a great sensor of humor and even a better heart. There have been many people in my life that I have come to love for many reasons and there are many reasons to love Johnny in just in the few times I seen him. The very first reason is because he loved and protected his niece, which I will continue doing the rest of my life. The second because every time I dance like you, you know horrible dance moves, Sandy laughs so hard and smiles ear to ear. Your accent reminds me of all the great times I had as a boy in South Carolina. You were a southern gentleman sir and you will never be forgotten in our hearts and we will see you soon enough. Rest in peace Uncle Johnny, we love you forever and we miss you always.

I pray that each family member and friend have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. That relationship will afford you peace. I pray that the Lord will give unto you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. May God bless you all.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
