I have so many found memories of his gentle soul, soft voice, and warm half cracked smile. How he used to make his electric guitars. I would always tell him that he should patent the idea and present the ***ROSS*** guitars. 🙂 He always thought it a silly idea. I’d egg him on, ‘think about it’, I’d say, ‘Fender-Gibson-***Ross***’. I’d sit and listen to him play his guitar for hours. Sometimes we’d play together. The many hours of motorcycle riding. The rushing to get me home on time. Luckily we remained alive. He would drive **so** fast on his bike but I trusted him totally. No fear. I remember sneaking in to his grandma’s house. Christmas. The railroad tracks. Going to friends’ houses. He always liked my poetry. Fun times when we were young. He will always behold a special place in my heart as he has all these years. He was my first love after all. *smiles* My thoughts are with the family during this time. Dottie….*hugz* Suzanne, I’m so sorry that I can’t be there for the funeral as you know I am dealing with my mom and I’ll be traveling to Maine. We’ll make plans later to get together. And Suzanne… thank you for what you did, for that *special* opportunity. It meant so much. Another fond memory with an added bonus……you. *hugz* I love you!
I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s been years since i had seen Johnny but always thought alot of him. My thoughts and prayers for you and your family
May the love of God bring you peace and comfort.
John will be missed by everyone of his co-workers. He made a mark on each person he met, they all think very highly of him and are heartbroken by his passing.
We are praying for you all. God of all comfort, thank you for your presence. In Your grace, please wrap your arms around your children so that they will know your love and the assurance that all will be well. Trusting you, we pray in Jesus’ name.
