Johnny was a real sweet heart. He always had a kind word for everyone, whether officer or inmate. He always treated everyone with the utmost respect. His infectious smile would light up a room. It was a pleasure to know him and he will be missed.

Our hearts were filled with sorrow when we heard about John. We had the pleasure to get to know John when he went to Japan with us in 2001 and then watched him grow into a fine young man. He was such a polite, kind, and caring person who always had a smile for others. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family in this time of great sorrow. May your fond memories of John and God's love help you during this very difficult time.
