Johnny was my first inspiration. I met him in Los Gatos and heard his share. That is where HOPE began. Everytime I met a stumbling block in my program and in my life Johnny was the one I ran into. At the bank, in a meeting. Always encouraging . I was there right after his house burned down and he was going through a bad time. It was definitely a God moment and he helped many young relapsers. I say we should be always grateful for our angels of sobriety, I will always remember his smile and love. I will surely miss him. I will continue to pass it on. Cindy Thibodeau |

II was a wreck...and a spoiled brat. ....and I was afraid....I met John at the Tuesday night St. LUKE'S Meeting..... he saw me come in with a group of young guys from my SLE....he walked across the room...Strait up to me and said welcome. .... we were fast friends from that day forward.... I can with all honesty say that the reason I've made it all these years is because of men and women like Johnny.... he always had fatherly wisdom.....which I sorely needed....but then we could sit at a meeting together like brothers..... my heart is saddened by the loss....so many father's and mothers have made the journey over....how can I ever stand up to his and their example. ....Johnny got sober when I was born .....he would always say that to me.....I picture him having coffee with my sponcee John Carney. .... and I smile....god's speed my old friend.

Johnny, It was sincere pleasure to know you. You were a frequent
reminder of how much 12 step programs have evolved or devolved. I'm
hopeful that the next generation of "Long Timers" will reinforce
your message to stick to the principles as outlined in our Bigbook.
It's time to get "Back to the Basics". Doug H. 12/4/1990

Johnny has been my grand sponsor for almost 12yrs. I've only got to know him better the last 3 ,,He had such a simple way of breaking something down that I had made all complicated ,,,and he was big on traditions ,keeping meeting safe. Bill Wood |
