Johnny was a great guy with a wonderful heart.

The Seidel Family,
My family was friendly with Johnny and his brother and sister father and mother.

Johnny was always nice and creative 
and kind to everyone.
It was a day before that my sister sent me an e mail saying she ran into Gaylyn in Dallas.
What a turn of events that the next day
I received a note saying Johnny passed away. Johnny will be missed by everyone
he touched the hearts of.

My condolences to the family. I knew Johnny from 5th grade through high school. I remember him being a great mechanic at Bledsoe's Texaco, having the fastest 1957 Chevy in north Dallas, and not being afraid to use the fastest fists around! I liked him a lot.

I think you can judge a man's heart by the way he treats his mother. Johnny you always looked out for her.  I will miss you.

I just recently met Johnny 2 years ago and found him to be such a warm, kind and friendly soul. I am so glad Frank called the get together at Red, Hot & Blue. Johnny was there and I gave him a big hug. I would have given him a bigger hug had I known that would be the last time I would ever see that wonderful smile of his.
God did Bless Johnny. To his family and close friends, God Bless you all- as you have lost something very special.

I met Johnny almost 2 years ago through friends Frank, Sherri, and Suzie Cossota.  Johnny always had a smile and a sweet spirit, never complained and always grinned on the 'one-up' stories about he and Frank.  I will miss you in the group, Johnny!  God bless your love for your dear mother.  Peace, Deb Smith

I went to Withers with Johnny many years ago.  I left after 6th grade, but Johnny was one of the people I've always remembered fondly. He was a great guy. My condelences to his family and friends.

Have a good ride, old friend. Hope it's a fast one !

Johnny was a great friend and will be deeply missed by all that knew him ! I have known since we were in jr. high and he was always a delight to be around .I always admired Johnny for the way he always looked out for his mother and made sure she had what she needed ! We will never forget the memories and all the holiday dinners and good times we had with Johnny !

I met Johnny when we were both in the 1st grade. We have been friends ever since. Our parents were good friends as well. I usually would talk with him at least every other week. His spirit, wit and determination to always succeed, were all part of what made you love Johnny. It't hard to imagine my world without him. My condolences to his Mother, Dorothy, whom he loved very much. I will keep his spirit forever in my memories. Rest peacefully my friend.

I met Johnny when I was 12 years old and we went steady. Through the years he became like family to my Mom, Dad and myself. He spent the summers over my house and we hung out with other friends in my driveway. I have known Johnny for 50 years and treasure his friendship like a brother. He was an amazing fun loving guy who had a special way about him. I will treasure my memories with him. He will not be forgotten. Will miss him terribly. Condolences to his Mom Dorothy and family. He loved her very much.

I met Johnny through my wife, Bonnie Skrodzki, and a number of classmates of their W.T. White Class of 1969.  Johnny was a man of deep conviction and loyal friendship.  Always having a smile and a welcoming spirit, he will certainly be missed by those who knew him well.  Though we were of different faiths, we shared a love of God and of our fellow man.  God bless you my friend and may He comfort all who loved you.

Dear Seidel family;

I was so very sorry to learn of your loss.  Though I last saw Johnny at WTWHS in 1968 before I moved away, I do remember him as a fun classmate with a great sense of humor.  I know he will be greatly missed.  I hope time will help you to heal.  May his memory be for a blessing.

Sincerely,

OBITUARY
