My husband and I went to Johnny's memorial service Saturday; it was beautiful. It was good to see the commons room at the JRHI packed with people. The speakers were really wonderful. Flag presentation and Last Call were moving moments.

There will never be another Johhny Willis.

My respects to Johnny and his family, also to my fellow Masons and Shriners.

Johnny will be missed.

A really great guy!! Not many years ago he used to show up at my elderly mother's home to shovel her snow, never expecting anything in return. Mountain Home has lost another 'one in a million'!
