"Johnny" was a native of Rock Hill, South Carolina spending most of his life in South Florida. A resident of Fort Lauderdale, he truly loved their home in North Carolina.
An electrical contractor, Navy veteran, sailor, corvette enthusiast, and constant worker he is best remembered by his family as loyal, dependable and fun. His adoring wife Nancy said, "In 35 years of marriage he was always beside me, he never let me down".

After suffering many years with Parkinson’s Disease always with dignity, never once complaining he left a legacy to us as a Christian, a family man, devoted to his wife, children, family and friends. Johnny would always show up, no matter what! We will meet again.
