    I wish I had been able to see you recently but I am getting old also. I will miss my cousin but I still have Betty Jean. Richard F Hughes

    My dearest brother, I will miss you always. You are very dear to me. I was lucky enough to be back home in Pittsburgh for a family wedding and got to visit with you twice. I knew then it would not be long. You were so ready to go and be with your Dottie and Mickey. When you see Ernie, tell him I love him and will be with him for eternity. I love you so much Johnny. Thank you for always being a great big brother to me. You are with the angels now. Darren and Michelle know that your grandfather loved you both. Don't grieve he is where he wants to be. Your sister Betty

    We are so sorry that Johnny has left us. He was a good neighbor, and his love for Dottie was a beautiful romance that endured through the years. Johnny and Dottie are together in eternity now. Our deepest sympathy to all his family.
