Johnny was a family man. He loved his wife of 38 years, children and especially his precious grandchildren. Johnny, also known as the "Bugman" knew everything about pest control where he worked for 37 years. He enjoyed woodworking, fishing, camping, cooking, watching westerns on TV and singing. Johnny had a great sense of humor, loved talking "junk" to everyone. His vibrant personality and contagious smile will be missed a great deal.
