Remembering Johnny Waltemyer

We will always remember Johnny to be a loving and extremely cheerful Christian.  He loved the Lord, his family, his church-family, and his friends.  I know this guy was special the moment he told me that I wasn't half as dumb as I look.  We will miss him, but we sorrow not like the world which have no hope.  We know that he is with the Lord Jesus, and one day, we will be with Johnny praising the Lord for all eternity in throne room of Heaven.

Here is his obituary as published in the York Daily Record, today:
