Johnny was my older brother and I adored him as a child. Hadn't seen him since the 60's but I never forgot him. I was a half sister he never accepted and it hurt but I never stopped loving him. My earliest memories of him was he loved to fish...I hope he was able to do that a lot in his life. I love you Johnny. RIP.
I first met John in 1960 while attending the University of Texas. We lived in the same dorm and became good friends. He lived with my parents for a couple of summers while working a summer job in Houston. He drove a cement truck every day and at the end of the day the drivers were supposed to clean their trucks. John always had the cleanest truck !!!! He always did his best at whatever he did. He called me one day to pick him up at Ellington Air Force base. He come rolling up in a Phantom F-4 fighter and I was duly impressed. He loved flying !
He will be truly missed by all that knew him.

John was a good friend to all of us who had the great, good fortune of working with him at Gulf & Basco. He was also a very dedicated salesperson, whose customers knew they could always count on him; he always went the extra mile! We will all miss John so much, but we are grateful that his suffering has ended. God Speed, my friend!

John was my college roommate, ex brother-in-law and a dear friend. John was a strong athlete and very competitive. I washed our white gym clothes with shoes with red laces. Everything came out pink. We got a lot of laughs in weight lifting class at UT until we lifted more weight than anyone else could. We had pushup contests in our room at UT, where we would do 1 pushup, then 2, then 3, etc, in order. Almost everyone gave up at about 25 sets, except John. He would make it to 56 sets. John also loved to fish. He made several trips to the mountains of Colorado with my brother, Donald, Don Williamson, and me. While the rest of us rode motorcycles, John fished. We always had trout for supper. John also taught himself to play a 12-string guitar and sat in many pickin & grinnin sessions with Donald and others. Although I was out of touch with John over the past several years, I have many fond memories of when our lives intertwined.
My sincere condolences to Cathy and the rest of John's family.
Love,

I did not have the opportunity to know John however I am a dear friend to his beautiful strong daughter. I know what he meant to her and as I have lost my father I know the feeling. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. So much love from Minnesota.
