Johnny arranged the Polish musicians -- he saw that I was nervous about the cost if they stayed over. He showed up when their time was over - said goodbye to them, unpacked his violin and played requests from all age groups(at no cost ). For years after when I would see him in the pancake house we both visited, he would always ask how my mom was doing. Thank you Johnny -- God bless you

I REMEMBER HIM GROWING UP. HE WOULD COME FOR CHRISTMAS TO AUNTY DOLLIES AND WE NEVER KNEW HOW GREAT AND ACCOMPLISHED HE REALLY WAS BECAUSE HE NEVER BOASTED ABOUT HIMSELF. AS HE WAS A NATURAL. I ALWAYS ADMIRED HIM AND NEVER HEARD HIM BOAST. I GUESS THAT STANDS OUT TO ME THE MOST.
