To Johnny

I just heard the news
It couldn't be more blue
For I'll always remember
The song of the day a tremble
Yes it's true I didn't know you long
But I'll always remember the song
Of all the times you helped us through
With y9ur spark, always new
You may have pushed sometimes too far
Break the glass, left in shards
You were the one that brought me fishing
So much more, I am wishing
But not to be, just the way it goes
The tragic card, has been thrown
I surely wish wherever you are
So much more, than the cards
You will not be, forgotten so
Like a seed, born to grow
Your ideas and inspiration
What I'll strive, an inclination
So whatever new stage you play
I'll always remember, the song of the day
Cheers,
The Sad Loony

Well said Matt. In the too short of time knowing Johnny, he touched me in a very positive way. I remember him helping us power wash the decks. Always so supportive and positive .
Thanks for the poem

I remember Johnny, a Ranier Village fixture, for his helpfulness and his eccentricities. At once kind and boisterous, resourceful and quirky. I recall him teaching (an undisclosed beginner) how to drive golf balls off the Loony’s dock, but being quickly reminded of the 3-1/2” lip that must to be cleared before launching the ball lake-ward...

Thanks for being a part of the Village, Johnny; you will be missed. Godspeed.

Yes I also agree..one of a kind a very special happy person
Always had a smile and something interesting to talk about. I was passing by your house a couple of days ago wondering how you were doing.
So sorry to hear about your passing

I reconnected with Johnny a few years back and it was amazing his warm smile, his strong hand shake (must of been fro gripping those golf clubs) and the warm embrace of 2 cousins who hadn’t seen each other in years. I saw him whenever i came to visit family the last time in 2016. It does my heart good to hear the kind of person he was and how he liked to help others. My thoughts and prayers go out to Brenda and his family.
RIP Johnny!!!!

John was my uncle, such a wild and funny spirit. Thank you for writing this, I knew him all my 28 beautiful years and we miss him dearly. If you know the Vedaa's you know we are tough, but right now most of us feel awfully broken without our dear Johnny Rebel.
