Ricky, I heard about the passing of your parents the other day. I am so sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed seeing your dad’s smiling face as he gathered the collection at St. Mike’s whenever I was back in Wheeling. Prayers to you and your family.
Sorry to hear about your Ray and Connie, they sure will be missed.They were always good friends of ours.
The staff and board of Drug Free Clubs of America and more importantly, the Wheeling teens who become members are all better people for having known Ray. He was an avid supporter and made a difference in many young lives through his commitment to the youth in his community. Both he and Connie will be remembered and missed.
Thank you for sharing your light.
We are so sorry. Please accept our deep apologies.
We were so very saddened to hear of Ray and Connie’s passing. Ray was one of my very 1st childhood friends, and I have fond memories of all the time we spent at “the ballfield” and on the Johnson porch. Even though life took us in different directions, every time I saw Ray in Wheeling, we always shared an old story of some times past. He and Connie were super people and will be missed. Our sympathy to the entire Johnson Families. John and Alia
We wish to extend our deepest sympathy.
With our deepest condolences. You will both be truly missed.
