Tio Johnny was one of a kind. An amazing man. So kind and loving and thoughtful. I'll miss you, Tio! You were a wonderful man! You knew so much about genealogy and I was impressed by you when we visited last summer. I am so glad we spent that time together! God be with Tia Rose and Lynde and Patricia and all his family. I am overwhelmed by the loss of my mom's only brother.

It makes me really sad to hear that my Tio Johnny has passed away. I'll always remember him dressing up as Elvis for Grandma Elena's birthday party. May you rest in peace! May God be with all you during this difficult time.
