John Charles Farrell

Johnny was a good man.He put on a brave face for his family through so much pain from his courageous battle with lung cancer. Johnny never asked anything for himself, he was the most humble and unselfish person I have ever known. If he would have ever won that lottery, all of his family and friends would have been blessed.
