attended Tattnall County Elementary and High School. 
Johnnie was employed a number of years at Sikes Telephone Company,

Hagan of Claxton, GA. He is also survived by 29 grands, 3 great-grands, and 
a host of nieces, nephews and friends. 
Just close your eyes and you will see all the memories that you have 
of Marilyn, Johnnie Jr., Betty, Quincy, April, Keith. 
Just sit and relax and you will find. 
Im really still there inside your mind. 
Dont cry for me now Im gone 
for I am in the land of song. 
There is no pain, there is no fear. 
So dry away the silent tear. 
Dont think of me in the dark and cold 
for here lam, no longer old. 
Im in that place thats filled with love 
known to you all, as up above.
