Johnny served in the United States Air Force from March 25, 1971 – June 11, 1974.  He was honorably discharged with a Rank of Sgt. E4.  He recently retired from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs after 32 years of dedicated service.  Johnny also managed the County Line Bar, a local Watering Hole, in his spare time; he loved music and socializing with his friends.

Johnny’s hobbies were Salt Water Fishing and growing plants.  He really enjoyed Salt Water Fishing; it was one of his favorite things to do.  Since his retirement he had also been acquiring lots of trees and plants for his yard, it seemed he had inherited his parent’s love for plants and their green thumb.
