Everyone who knew Johnny knows the special, loving, caring person he was.  He was always there when you needed him. He would make you laugh with his jokes and had a special nickname for everyone.  Johnny was famous for being meticulous with cleaning, from his shoes to his cars.  He washed his cars at least 2 times a week and would always tell you to “wash that shit” if it was dirty.  His famous saying was “whatup .….” and he would sing “J’s on my feet” and have everyone laughing.
