I will carry Johnny in my heart and soul forever. I will never forget playing guitar with him for hours in granny's garage. He was always patient with me. He was truly a gentle, lovely soul.

John and I where like cats and dogs growing up. He could put cats to shame drawing the bow on that violin. As with most musical instruments, the longer you are at it, the better you get. John did forgive me for the things I did and I miss him!!! Only he knows of those. He is in God's hand.
