Johnny was a beloved father, grandfather, and friend. A self-employed mechanic, Johnny had a lifelong passion for cars — from building race cars and restoring classics to spending countless weekends at the track. His skill, dedication, and love for engines were matched only by his devotion to his family. His children and grandchildren were truly his life, and he took great pride in every moment spent with them. Johnny was a people person who enjoyed being social and never met a stranger. His evenings were often spent visiting with his cousin Tony Bruner and friends, Doc LaBore, sharing laughter and good stories. Saturday mornings were a favorite time for Johnny, when he would stop by the car lot to visit his longtime friend Gary Cromer. Known for his big heart, hard work, and easy smile, Johnny leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and loyalty. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
