Two years ago you never would have gotten me to believe that your time was up. You'd been through so much already and always seemed to pull through. I just knew you'd pull through this, too. To me, and probably to everyone, you were invincible. You, tough guy Johnny, were one of the untouchables.
I know a lot about your life. You never kept many secrets from me. I'm glad we were able to talk to each other so easily. I miss talking to you. I miss your voice. I miss the way you say Armando. I miss the way you'd whistle me awake on April Fool's Day and get me to smoosh shaving cream in my face. I miss your gargle, your sneezes, your laugh. But I can hear it when I close my eyes. I hope I never forget the sound.
You always called me your "rock". But the truth was you were my rock. I was strong because I had you to hold me up. I got my strength from you. I love you and I miss you so much.
Rest in Paradise, daddy. 3

Sharp Dressed Man
June 25, 2018
There aren’t a lot of words I can think of to describe my dad because he didn’t fit neatly into any ONE box. He wore many hats. My favorite memories of him happened when he was being silly, which was more often than you’d think considering how serious he always seemed to be. I could rarely tell when he was joking because he always did so with a straight face. He took full advantage of my gullibility this way. The stories he’d tell me, I’d wholeheartedly accept as truth because He told me. I’m sure I looked pretty dumb when I’d repeat a story and say “It’s true because my daddy said it was.”
One time he asked if I’d checked the blinker fluid in my car knowing how terrible I was at remembering to check my fluids. I knew it wasn’t a real thing... okay, I learned it wasn’t a real thing about 10 minutes in to him trying to show me where to put it and then he busted out in his contagious laugh. Oh how I miss that laugh. And how he would smile and try to hide his crooked teeth. And how he’d gargle like a race car and dance with two pointer fingers up in the air. And how he’d yip and holler at all the family functions that would include Spanish music. I can still hear him and his brother doing the donkey call. Always a highlight and a popular request.
There wasn’t anything daddy loved more than his siblings and his parents. He was a great dad and he taught me to persevere, keep my head held high, don’t make trouble, but don’t take none either. I miss you daddy and I love you with all my heart. Happy 66th birthday in Heaven. Your bells will ring forever now.
