May the family find comfort in loving memories, and in knowing that God is "close to those that are broken at heart; and he saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18) Our loving Creator, Jehovah God, has promised to soon "swallow up death forever...and wipe the tears from all faces." (Isaiah 25:8) With deepest sympathy.

Sending my deepest condolences to Sandra and all the family. Johnnie and Sandra were great friends of mine back in the day. We spent a lot of good times together. Johnnie had a way with words and could always make you smile. I know he will be truly missed by everyone.

Johnnie was a pleasure to have around the job site. He did more masonry jobs for me than I can remember. When he signed the receipts from T&W Block,he never signed his name. He always signed something amusing such as "Chuck Roast or Yul B. Stuck" We only have good and pleasant memories of Johnnie. Deepest Sympathy

I’ll miss Johnny immensely. Any day you saw him was always better than the days you didn’t. His personality, demeanor, thoughtfulness and sense of humor are irreplaceable – they should be patented. If the stories told about a person after they pass is any indication of the love people have for him, Johnny rests peacefully knowing the volumes that will be shared for many years. Thanks for all, my good friend.

Dear family of Mr. Johnnie,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know, it may seem unbearable. May you take comfort that our Heavenly Father is near to those that are broken at heart (Ps. 34:18). The Bible teaches that one day in the near future our Creator, by means of the ransom sacrifice of his son, Jesus,will reunite us with our dead loved ones by means of a resurrection right here on earth in paradise conditions that will be filled with peace, happiness, and perfect health for everyone. (John 5:28,29; Psalm 37:9-11,29; Isaiah 33:24)

As you read the above texts from your Bible, may the wonderful hope they give us, along with loving memories bring you a measure of comfort during this difficult time. There is much Bible based found on jworg.

Whenever Johnnie walked through the doors of T&W Block, we could always count on a smile,a great sense of humor and a unique outlook on anything from the weather to politics. It was always a pleasure to deal with Johnnie as a customer and his artistry and craftsmanship as a brick mason was superb. His talent will live on in the beautiful brick work that remains on projects all over this Eastern Shore. RIP Johnnie, your humor and talent will be missed very much.
