Johnnie wasn't always an easy guy to get along with but if he liked you, you knew and if he didn't you probably knew that too. I ran around with Johnnie when I was in high school and felt privileged to be his friend. He even let me drive his car some! One Saturday evening we were making a run to Fayetville, it was foggy and all we could see was the white stripe on the shoulder of the road. As Johnnie was approaching a curve in the road we could see a pair of headlights from another vehicle heading into the curve from the north. It looked like a sports car because lights were low and close together. IT turned out to be semi with only it's fog lights on. We only cleared the trailer by a few inches. Johnnie said quietly, that was no sports car. Rest in peace good friend.
