Revelation 21:3-5 3.And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling placef of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
4,He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
5¶And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Good night Johnnie we will see you in the morning.

Sending condolences and prayers
John was a friend and fellow baseball and basketball player of mine from 13 years old through high school.
I left Racine at age 22 and hadn’t seen him through the years but his family legacy looks like the best
Great athlete
Good friend
Glad to know he was a man of faith in Jesus
Blessings in Christ
Hello to Andy
Johnnie was a very good friend of mine. We had many years of playing sports in Racine Wisconsin and just hanging out. I will always say he was one of if not the best football player that came out of Racine. Rest In Peace my brother. To the family you have my prayers and condolences.
