Always faithful to every trust, since when a boy of IS he shouldered the responsibility and the support of his widowed mother and four small brothers and one sister. His has surely been a Ufa of 'Usefulness and unselfish service for others. And now that he has goals his good deeds do llvs after him and nil rise up to call him Messed. One ot the sweetlut things in his Ufa was the perfect companionship 1 he had with little children and when with them he mads Ms great heart as the heart of a little child. Toward him his little fMsadk Alt rsaphct, re versal oe and love, and so much his friends Oat they ealled him always 'Johns*"?end he* they will strtvt to b? like Johnny {or to them he was the greatest man In the world. Truly he leaves behind a trail ot loving, loyal, true friends and loved ones and he will live forever en. shrined in their- hearts as a beauti ful and sacred memory, made pure and holy by the gentleness and faith fulness expressed in his daily contact with others.
