While in their employ he was a member of a special crew of draegerman, trained in underground rescue work and emergency procedures. Johnny was a kind and generous man and a good friend to all who knew him. He had an excellent sense of humour even when facing his many challenges and always looked on the bright side of life. He enjoyed television, especially old westerns, space shows, local and world news. He was an avid reader, handyman, and pretty darned good cook.
