Johnny retired from BNSF Railroad after 38 years of service. After retirement he loved to fish as long as he was able. Probably the other thing he enjoyed as much as fishing was his love of softball and football. Anytime weather was permitting, you could find him in his lawn chair watching a softball game or football game.
