Condolence From: Vikki Ellis
Condolence: I had the great pleasure to work with Johnny the year in between my university degrees. We went skating, to movies, for pizza and bowling and even the amusement fair. Johnny skated circles around me, literally and figuratively and he loved to tease me by pretending his fingers were going to get smashed between the bowling balls. Being too chicken to get on any fast rides at the fair myself, my mother came with us. She still talks of how he nearly spun the two of them right out of the teacup ride. Thanks to Johnny I will always have a deeper appreciation, if not love, of disco music and, of course, pens. May all your wonderful memories comfort you. Thinking of you all.

Condolence From: Cathy Dalton Kendell
Condolence: I am so sorry to hear about Johnny Macs passing. We were the same age and we spent a lot of time together going back and forth to Grand Falls with his Dad. He loved his school and he was happy every day telling what he did or eating his snack his mom had packed on the way home. My sister and I kept him company when his parents went out and it was always an adventure because he could be a prankster! Wonderful memories of him and his devoted loving parents...they are together again. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.....

Condolence: Denise another part of my heart broke yesterday when I learned Johnny had passed away...although I know he wasn't in good health the last couple of years it's still hard to believe he is gone. I always remember him coming in with you to see me and mom and the great hugs he give, and take a pen..oh how he loved his pens. I told him once he got that from his uncle Pat because dad was the same way. His another angel up in heaven now with mom and dad, and aunt Blanche and uncle John, you will get your strength from all of them to get through this difficult time. We are all thinking about you and saying a prayer. Xxxxxx

Condolence: To Denise, George,Gerry and extended families So sorry to hear of Johnny Mac's passing.We have such wonderful memories of him and Ken could tell you of a few not so wonderful that the two of them worked out between them ---after that Ken always had to make sure he had extra pens!! Any family who has raised a special child knows the trials are many and the good times not quite as many but when they do occur they are so special they leave indelible memories. Always remember the good times and we're sure your Dad, Mom and Paul were waiting to welcome Johnny Mac home.
