I first met Johnny through my father while working a job at DuPont Beaumont. I have great memories of many conversations, a few duels at billiards, any laughs I can't begin to count...I good man, the memories we shared will stay with me always. Cheers to an old friend...

Uncle Johnny you have always been precious to me! You and Aunt Mary opened your home to me for a while when I was a young teen. Such precious memories of being included in all our family moments. You will be missed by so many. Please LORD give Aunt Mary Wendy Deedra and Troy all the peace comfort and strength they need for all the days following! I love y'all so much!

I met Johnny at DuPont when I was an apprentice in L.U.#22. He was a nice, calm guy. Years later, I "re-met" Johnny at the Hut. He was there with Mary to have a beer and shoot pool. They made an awesome couple! From then on, I knew that if I walked into the Hut and saw them I would not be winning any pool games, but I would be enjoying some good company.

What a shock! Brother Johnny was a great, mild mannered man. I worked with Brother Johnny at DuPont Beaumont Works, and later when he was employed with his son's company as I had a water damage repair. I always believed that if Johnny was involved in anything, it was done right. Rest in peace, my brother.

When it comes to uncles he was the best... he was so loving and funny .when I was young I stayed with them and he would roll his eye lids up and would chase me and aunt Mary around the house we would be laughing and hollering and lock ourselves in the bathroom. He was definitely one of a kind. RIP my sweet uncle give mom a hug and we will see you again. I love you 💔
