He was a good man. Aunt Pearl lived across the street from my Grandma when I was growing up.
Johnny was on the Washington County CO-OP board of directors with my Dad when the new CO-OP building was built. A very proud moment for them. I well remember visiting with the Wilcox family when Laura and Clinton were small too. We played together. I will pray for you all.
