Dearest Uncle Johnny, We are all missing you and thinking of you on this sad start to the new year. Your passing came so suddenly and it's struck the family so deeply to lose the first of their own...first son, first brother, first father, first uncle. You were always a kind, gentle soul, and the memories I have of you will always live on. Thank you for the annual summer trips to the county fair with Granny and Grandad and for teaching Sissy and I how to fish down at the reservoir as kids. Holidays won't be the same without your famous ham and warm, sweet smile. We'll miss you dearly. May you rest in peace and not be forgotten.
