Johnny was a simple man he enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping, and visiting Huntington County, Pennsylvania with his cousin Timmy as often as possible.

He loved to spend time with his family especially his granddaughter Leanna AKA “Doodle Bugs”

Johnny loved his family very much and even visited his cousins every Sunday.

Bush Beer was his beverage of choice, you would rarely find him without one.

John was the type of guy to drop everything and come help you if you needed him. He truly would give you the shirt off his back.
