Judy and boys, I just wanted to say how much we all cared for Johnny. He always put a smile on my face and tickled me immensely with things he did like the Colts car and the pie pan hub caps. Judy if you were ever to need anything please feel free to call me. My number is 373-5875, again I am sorry for your loss and it is a loss to us all.
