  1. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this troubling time, may the peace of God be with you and your children and grandchildren.

  2. Johnny, my brother Ron & I spent many great times at the gun shows through the years & at the gun ranges. We bought & sold guns together & that was the sport that bonded our friendship. I also enjoyed deer hunting with Johnny for a number of years. He certainly will be missed by all who knew him. Our prayers go out to Joylyn & the entire Smith family.
