I got a nice email from Johnny's niece Wanda, pointing out that John was a Corporal in the U. S. Army, not the USAF as indicated in the obituary.  Thanks Wanda.

 

My Dad liked Johnny, and the Crissman's, and when I was a kid, Dad took me along with him to Crissman's packing plant in Castanea where we saw John a lot, just about every week.  John used to show me around the plant.  He would give me a hot dog to eat while we were walking through the plant.  John always treated me kindly.
