I met Johnny when we attended vo-tech together in the early 70's. We were toolbox partners and I worked with Johnny at the service station his dad managed when we could. Johnny and I both went to work at Augusta at the same shop and spent lots of time together even including a brief try at dirt track racing. He was deeply in love with Carolyn then and although I had not seen him in years I still had good thoughts about knowing him. I'm so sorry for all the family in the loss of this good man.
