My Brother -in- Law Johnny would do anything for you and always spoke his mind which I respected. He had a sense of humor unlike anyone else. I looked forward to seeing Johnny on every trip back to Ohio. Johnny would always make sure there was a pot of coffee on brewing and I remember many times sitting on the back deck of the house and Johnny saying what he was getting ready to work on next or sometimes just standing by watching him working on a new project in the yard. Johnny stayed busy but would take the time to sit and talk. I will miss seeing him and Bear who always wanted to be right where Johnny was even though he would get yelled at to go into the yard. LOL We'll miss you Johnny.

Knowing we have a loving God who will look out for us in times of sorrow is a comfort to us and will get us thru. I did know cousin John very well but I know he was so loved by his family. We will miss them for awhile but soon we are reunited again. Love you all. Karen Wolfe Hoffman
