Johnny enlisted in the Navy during World War II and proudly severed in the Philippines. After the war he returned to his native San Antonio and worked at the Harvey Bowman company and Perry Shankle in sporting goods. He spent more than 25 years working at Pearl Brewing Co. in many jobs, but his favorite was in Public Relations.

He was an avid outdoorsman with a passion for fishing and hunting. He was involved in many related clubs, locally and at the state level, as well as being a Master Mason. Johnny never met a stranger and was overwhelmingly generous to everyone he met.
