But the one thing that stands out was his kindness and friendship to our son Joey. Joey loved fishing in your ponds. When our son passed away he stopped by and spoke of our son and made us proud, with his kind words.
There are know words that anyone can say right now to easy the pain. But the kind words and the prayers will help you get through this terrible time in your life.
Our prayer will be with you all.

Gail and I were very sadden to hear about your loss of Johnny. He and I graduated from the class of 73 at South Granville HS together. Thirty years later we reestablished our friendship and became quite good friends and supporters of one other's good cause. Please know that you and the family will be in our prayers in the days and weeks ahead. May GOD give you the strength to understand and overcome the loss of such a good man.
Love, Mike and Gail
