View all 7 ReflectionsJohnny was a great friend to me and others around Gaston County. I met him while he was with the Sheriff's Department in the late 70's/early 80's. We used to go the Law Enforcement camp on the river and fish on Friday/Saturday nights after he would finish up a shift working security for McDonalds on East Franklin. Always a joke and a smile and he could take one as well. His standard comeback was, "That's Cold." Miss you brother. Always!
