Rhonda and I send our sincere condolences to the family. It was a pleasure to have known and worked with John. He was very instrumental in helping me to become a controller and his recommendation greatly helped me to become a supervisor. My FAA career would not have been the same without his help and influence. I was proud to call him my friend. Rest in Peace John. Randy Worthington
I have known Johnny since I was a small girl. He and my brothers (Bill, Leon and Dickey Asbridge) were best buddies and so handsome. Just think of the reunion he will have with Bill and Leon! Love you Johnny!
Tracie and family, we are so sorry to hear about your Dad. We are praying for you and your family. Frances and Marvin Wells
Johnny was a great friend to us for so many years. He and Calvin worked together at Memphis Tower, went to U of M basketball games together. We were blessed to know him and share many good times with together. We will miss him dearly.
As a 1955 Messick High School classmate and friend of Johnny's I will forever be grateful for how he kept our class glued together all these years and for the extra efforts he went to to make it easier for Smitty and I, coming from Colorado, to get to the reunions. He was a special friend to all of us. Betty Bowers Largent
