Johnny was a kind and decent person and was a good friend to all who knew him. He had more than his share of obstacles placed in his path but he faced life's challenges with a smile and an open heart. I have so many great memories of our time together in high school and afterwards. Johnny won't miss his legs anymore - he has wings now... Rest in Peace old friend.
