What a man..soft spoken, kind hearted, and a great man in general. Always looked forward to his arrival at F&F Metal..Our prayers go out to the family, and now God has one of the best truck drivers on his streets of gold.

I was sorry ro hear about Johnnie's sickness. I remember when I was 13 -14 years old and would ride my bike to the house and watch Johnnie & the Triplets work on their cars. Me and Jeff Ferebe use to ride to the dragstrip with you all. Johnnie will be missed. My prayers will go out to family.

Kathy,
My heart goes out to you and your family. I remember Johnnie as such a kind, helpful, and gentle spirit. Whenever I saw him at the airport or at Freeman Metal, he always had a smile on his face. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Dear Family,
Johnnie was one of the nicest men I have known. I loved to hear him laugh. His laugh and his genuine good spirit I will forever remember. He will be missed at Freeman Metal Products.

Kathy,
I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. Johnny was a favorit cousin of mine. David and I were both disappointed because we didn't know about this until after the funeral. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
