Johnny was my oldest first cousin. As a youngster our age difference, around 18 years, kept me from really getting to know him as a friend, but as we both grew older we began to enjoy the significant interests we had in common and started to reconnect more often. Johnny was so vibrant, so energetic, so lively that it was a pleasure to visit him. Our shared and unique family history was always a source of great conversation but Johnny was also very aware of every day happenings and could chat about most anything...a true "barber's" trait. Camping, travel, a military connection, our shared love for Uncle Joe and others of that older generation...we talked about it all over a glass of wine or something a bit stronger. Johnny was such a whirlwind I thought he might live forever! He will...in our hearts. Jacklyn (Kling) and Dwain Dumas
