John loved to talk about his granddaughter, He had me make a baby blanket for her. We got into this habit : when we ran into each other  He'd pull out a new picture  and I would ask how's your baby?  After making the blanket , he had a photo of her framed for me, It's still on my desk. John always had this huge smile on his face, he had a way of making  you happy even if  it was the worst day of your life.
 He told me once he was a wealthy  man,  because he had such a wonderful family, family means everything,  He was right, a very rich man indeed. Forever in out hearts .

It was always nice to see him and talk to him when he came to the VFW. He was always friendly and had a smile on his face. Always ready for a conversation. Cheers Sir. 

Tio Johnny,
 Thank you for all the memories . From the visits to you at the farm , the chickens to going to see our Little Cuz Lori when she was so excited to see us because she was still an only child at the time. Thank you for giving me a place to stay when I transitioned from  the Navy to civilian life as I sought work in your area.  It's during this time we talked about our Lord and Savior thus my expectation in seeing you again. In 2Corinthians 1:3 the Father says he is the Father of Compassion and the God of all comfort who comforts in all troubles...My Loved ones let us rejoice in that and give thanks that we had him in our lives . He always had something going on with you cousins and his grandkids . Had to share with me ya'lls  new projects , activities etc. He had a full life.   I will miss your calls Tio .
Love You Tio 
Freddie

John was a great man. When I was in need, he was there. He sold me and my boyfriend at the time, his old Chevy Cavalier, for $1. He was home with me when we both found out about 9/11 and stared at the TV in complete disbelief. He always had a smile and a story to share. He will be missed. 

My Friend,

You will be dearly missed. Thank you for friendship & all of your great stories through out the years. We were blessed to have known you. 

Francisco-



Lord,
Comfort, bless, and strengthen Tio Johnny's family during this difficult time.

He was genuinely a  good, happy, supportive, and loving uncle.

  I was blessed when he took time to make my high school graduation and marriage ceremony.

  His visits were always pleasant family fellowships.  His life stories would have valuable lessons and a bit of humor.  I will miss his smile and laughter.

I am also very grateful for the times that he helped Dad with Tio Ramon's care.

During his visits, Tio would listen and show a sincere interest when we discussed  the work, life, and love of Christ our Savior and The Holy Spirit.  I look forward to the time that I see him again in heaven with our Holy Father!

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you at the proper time,  casting all your care on Him, because He cares about you." 1 Peter 5:6-7

"We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, concerning those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. Since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, in the same way God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus."  1Thessalonians 4:13-14
