So sad to hear of Johnny’s passing but happy that he and Marion will be reunited at last. I will always remember their devotion to each other.
May the special memories of Johnny (and Marion too) live inside your hearts forever.
Mary Cooper (former ACCD director)
We have so many happy memories of Johnny and Marion. We rejoice that they are back together. Johnny was such a wonderful role model. His quiet, hard-working and loving nature was so comforting and such an inspiration. We are all better people for having known both of them.
