I only knew Johnno over the last 5 years. He was a true pal. Honest, funny, hardworking and forever the optimist. What most struck me about him was his willingness to see the best in everyone. He could talk forever about his family, his wife and children and of how proud he was of all of them. He took great delight in sharing their achievements. A truly proud and humble dad. He was an inspirational voice. When I ever got down or out of sorts through work or whatever he could turn it around with a kind word, funny whip or just a wink that let you know that it's alright. I knew him a short time but will hold his memory a long time.
