They that love beyond the world To every thing there is a season, And a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck that which is planted; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to get, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to love, and a time to hate; A time of war, and time of peace. - Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 -
From his niece, |
This was my little brother Johnny whom I loved very much. He and I did a lot together. I took him to the movies, to get his hair cut and we always went down town after I got paid. I just enjoyed doing things with him and for him. He is missed so much from my life and our family's lives. I still have the letters that he wrote to me, one I got about 2 weeks after he was killed and he wrote it the day before he got killed.
Johnny, I will never forget you because now you have Mom and Dad and my son, John with you in heaven. I will be with all of you one day.
Your loving sister,

I was five years old visting with my grandmother. I used to admire this handsome man in a photo on her table. I was told he was my Uncle Johnny who died in the war. Now I'm all grown up and I can still remember my Uncle Johnny's photo. All I have is that memory, I never got to meet him, he died before I even understood what war was. Thank you for protecting me and having to die at such a young age, you are sadly missed and loved by many.
From your niece, |
I never got to meet my great Uncle Johhny but I know he must have been a great man. He fought for his country and for the pride of his family with the greatest courage. He was the youngest sibling from my poppa's side of the family, and my poppa misses him dearly. I live in Florida now and recently went to a viewing of a "look-alike" memorial Wall. We sketched around his name and just being there and doing that brought me closer to him. Uncle Johhny, I know you're in heaven watching down on all of us. We love you and miss you! I can't wait to see you in heaven!
The Lord Bless and keep you.
From a great-niece, |
My memories of Johnny are of our youth ... I like them ... They are the types that left a wonderful "taste in ya mouth". I missed him then ... and now. What a waste of a good life. He was so handsome...
