Johnny was my 6 year old son’s favourite player by far. I think he really drew in the young fans. My wife said “I’m gonna email the flames and invite Johnny to our son’s birthday”. I thought that was a pretty crazy notion. A while later my son got a letter and it was from Johnny stating that he was really busy and couldn’t come but sent him a personalized 8x10 signed colour picture that we framed. He still has it on his wall. He just celebrated his 16th birthday and still has the picture in his room. He was the one that told me about Johnny’s passing last night. Very very sad.
