Our condolences go out to you, Joan, during this difficult time. We appreciated all Johnny did for us over the years he worked at Carefree. His dedication and willingness to step up and help whenever he was able was of immense benefit to us. We also appreciated his easy going nature and sense of humour. We were fortunate to have known him from our early days at Exotic until years later with Carefree and have many fond memories.
We are very saddened with the news of Johnny's passing. Our sincerest thoughts are with you. The loss of a loved one breaks our heart. We have to cherish all the hugs and good times we shared. The tears we shed will help us heal even if takes a while. I'm sure you have many good shared memories with Johnny and those are the ones you keep treasured the most. Take care of you. We sincerely care.
