Johnny left home in his teens to join the US Army. Although far from home he remained very close with his 13 brothers and sisters. And going home for visits was something he held dear to his heart. He loved his family so much. He was stationed at Camp Carson and this is where he met his true love Jenny. He was a hard working man who retired an engineer from the Santa Fe Railroad in 2004. Together they cultivated a beautiful life with an amazing family filled with unconditional love, tons of laughter and a huge helpin' of music. Johhny's soulful guitar pickin' and beautiful voice entertained friends and family near and far. A real time Johhny B. Goode. Good times, good parties, good food and great friends where plentiful at their home. He was quick to offer a hand with a wrench or a joke. His quick wit and twinkle of his eye will always be remembered, a true one-of-a-kind. Later, later Pop.
