Johnny was a dear friend to me as soon as I came from Ft Worth to work here at Jenks shop. He became like a brother to me and we had a lot of good times together. He always had a special place in my heart. I know he will be missed terribly and my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Mitch was a wonderful man. He always had the best jokes and a big smile on his face. He was a wonderful father, step-father and pop-pop (pop-paw). He will definitely be very missed.
