Condolence: we had our good days an bad days at work, but on the dance floor it was great. I'll miss you Johnny.

Condolence: I was dismayed to hear about Johnny passing. I have always loved his smiling face and will miss him tremendously.

Condolence: He once sold me a car before I’d even seen it. That’s how good his word is.

Johnny’s known me for 16 years. We became friends while I was playing in a band, whom John welcomed to practice at the house on the hill in Damiansville. I’ve had the pleasure of playing music, while Dancin Johnny tore up the floor. He’d always be grooving or swinging a gal around with a polka. Some of John’s friends will be performing a musical tribute show on November 23rd from 4pm-8pm at Buxton’s Restaurant in Beckemeyer. Free.

John is a friend to everyone.
Dance In Peace Johnny V



P.S. Send my condolences to Patches.

Condolence: I will remember John as a lover of good music and good people. The man had moves :0) If I need a little positive pick me up during the day, I'm going to think of Dancing Johnny

Condolence: I met cousin Johnny few times but he was always smiling. I bet he is still smiling.

Condolence: I am sorry but I have to leave another one of Uncle Johnny. Last one was good but this one leaves tears in my eyes thinking about it. I was out on leave from the Army and Johnny, Eric, Greg and many others that I cannot all list went to a concert at the Pageant in St. Louis. I rode with Johnny in the Cavy where me and him were smoking cigarettes and talking about the Army the whole ride to St. Louis when we got there we got lucky found a parking spot in the back and Johnny get out of the car and grabs a cane he did not need it at all but wanted to walk around with the Swagger. His grey hair was so long he was saving it up to donate it, we walk up he is Uncle Eric already in line to get it to the Halo Bar. God I am going to miss seeing El Monstero with you, Uncle Johnny probably the best memory I can remember and what a great show. I am sorry that I cannot make it to the service for you, but you know I have to do the Army thing right now. But I will Cheers a beer for you.
Love Dave

Condolence: To the memory of my Uncle Johnny, I remember a time when he took me and my Dad Bruce Santel out fish on Carlyle Lake, on his john boat. It was so cold out there it was maybe 45- 50 degrees on the water with a North wind and he was the only one with the coffee to warm us up. We stayed out there for about three to four hours and caught three fish. Dunking cookies in to the coffee and talking about how high school was going for me. Even through the suck of cold weather I still had a great time with him and I am going to miss him.

Condolence: So many memories of you, sad to see you go. But I know where you are, you are rocking, dancing and having a good time! Your good heart will always be kindly remembered by so many.

Condolence: My deepest sympathy to the family.

Condolence: We're sorry that you had to leave us John. You were our "Best Man" and it was a special gift to have known you. You'll always be in our hearts. Rest In Peace. Steve and Cheryl
