RIP Johnny. I just asked another FReeper this AM if he was OK as he hadn’t posted in awhile. You will forever be greatly missed Johnny.
Wow. Wonderful tribute, Marcella.
RIP Johnny
Lord Jesus, May the God of all comfort give peace to Family, Friends, Loved Ones. Amen.
RIP Johnny. Glad I knew you.
RIP PRAYERS FOR THE FAMILY
RIP fellow Vet
High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air… .
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
— John Gillespie Magee, Jr
I really didn’t want to hear this, even though I knew it would likely come. He will leave a big void.
RIP Johnny and prayers to those who mourn for you.
Goodbye, Johnny, and rest in peace.
I would think if it were possible, Johnny would tell ya the greatest medal he ever wore was what you wrote
God bless you both
“The last enemy to be destroyed is death.”
RIP Johnny.
So sorry to hear about this. He was very kind to me on this db and I will miss him. He taught me what the difference was between executive orders and actions etc. I will miss him.
Godspeed dear patriot.
RIP.
You were living angels for him. I didn’t know about him until just before Christmas. I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. May he be at peace and become whole again.
Oh,I am so sad to hear this.
I knew he was ill but hoped for the best.

This place will never be the same without Johnny. May the Good LORD bless and comfort his loved ones.
Thanks for posting. What a swell fellow, a gem, and FR and we who read it were blessed and lucky to “know him.”
No way!
A Great FReeper!
Rest well, Johnny.
You are in better place......
Such sad news. RIP Johnny.
