For some reason I thought about Johnny today so I googled his name not knowing he had passed away. He would come into the Ashland electric motor shop where I used to work and it was always a treat. He would have us all laughing before he left. He was great guy. Wish they're were more like him.

Johnny was a good man, and will be truly missed. He always had a smile on his face. He was a friend of mine. Last time I saw him, was in Foodland parking lot. He did not tell me that he was ill. I said hello, I hugged him and told him that I loved him. He will always be remembered by me as a special friend. My condolences to his family. God Bless.

Sorry to hear of your loss - I can still picture "Shorty" and hear his laugh. My thoughts and prayers are with you all - I understand how you feel after losing both daddy and mom (Lyle and Vivian Click). Keep the faith.

Please accept my deepest sympathy as you go through this time of loss. Shorty was a very special person with always a smile. He wired the first house I ever owned and he taught me alot of things in the early years of homeownership. He will be sadly missed.
