I am so sorry to hear of Johnny's passing. He and I shared lots of memories created through a friendship that included being neighbors and school friends as we grew up a block from each other. We shared these memories every time we met. The last time was just a few months ago. My heart breaks to know that I will no longer have him to talk to about a part of my life very few people shared with me. I love you Johnny. Betty

Condolences to all the family for a true Irishman, Johnny was always happy and jovial as his enthusiasm was spread to all those around him. We will all miss his friendship.
I have just been advised of Johnny's passing. But I will never forget the fun, fights, and experiences we had together with the likes of Bobby, Butch, Eddie, and others that enriched our childhood. Johnny and I spend many hours building model airplanes in a shed in his back yard. Johnny, thanks for being part of my younger years. Eloy
