I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of Johnny. He was my cousin and I wish I would have spent more time with him.
He and my husband Dave, along with a few other cousins spent some time playing basketball. Dave really enjoyed this time with Johnny. Johnny also heard we were working on our cabin and came up to Parks to help us whenever he could. We both got to know him better. He was one of the good guys and will be missed.
Condolences and to the Mickelson and Conway families 😢♥️
RIP Uncle Johhny, wish I spent more time with you. But enjoyed the times I did.
