I’m sorry to learn of the loss of your husband. I realize that he had experienced declining health for some time, but the reality of his passing is still a major blow even though it was not unexpected. I pray that time will help the hurt to subside, but I know the memories will live forever.
If I can help in any way, please do not hesitate to call.

To Todd, Tony, and all of Johnny’s family, I would like to express my sincerest Condolences. Johnny meant a lot to me and was a big influence in my life. I remember a lot of good times. Times when we played fast pitch softball together. Times when he helped me in a time of need, like repairing and painting an old rusty utility trailer, and doing it to help me out, at no charge. I’ll miss all of the sports conversations we had discussing baseball and basketball. I’ll miss him, but always remember him. I love you all, as I loved him, and pray God will grant each of you comfort and strength as you get on with your lives. May God richly bless you! Love, Ted
