    Johnny was such an inspiration and role model for our family. He did everything with love and with all his heart. One only has to look to his family to know what a wonderful man he was! He even took Kyle in when Snowmageddon hit, and he couldn't get home!

    There are many childhood memories of the Seay family and Mr. Johnny is central in all of them. They have always made me feel welcome. He loved his girls and his family, mightily. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
