I wish we all could be there Lisa. I decided to do it up right and treated myself to a cigar and some Forty Creek today while I sat outside and thought about Johnnie and all the lives he touched.
RIP Johnnie Rotten

If Johnnie liked Budweiser I'm having one in his memory. Gone but never forgotten!

Re: In memory of Johnnie
I have not drank since my boy's where born but I sure would tip one for John,although I could never drank beer. I just never acquired the taste for it but if it was going to be beer it would be Budweiser.

Re: In memory of Johnnie
I found the following recently and made me think of Johnnie:
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'Wow, What A Ride!'"
Here's to you Johnnie!

Re: In memory of Johnnie
No Bud in the house, but I tipped back a yuengling today at my son's graduation party.
I don't always share everything from the forums with my family, but I sure made a point to tell them about Johnnie. Here's to you, man!

Re: In memory of Johnnie
Just got back from Johnnie's Family Memorial Balloon release and picnic. It was a day full of tears, laughter and lots of stories, along with a few mishaps. I am totally emotionally and physically drained right now. I will post pics and tell you all about it tomorrow. I am grabbing a few beers and heading to bed.
