Message to the Family: During one of my several visits to my home state of Arkansas years ago, I stopped in at the barber shop to see Johnny.He did not recognize me at first so I told him who I was was. He gave me such a nice welcome. I knew Johnny when I was a young boy growing up in Morrilton. You see, I shined shoes at Jays Barber shop when Johnny worked there. During the lull time at the shop we were alway acting up. He once showed me how to drink a coke in less than 5 seconds. He had great character, treated everyone the same. I know Jay hated to see him move on. I remember seeing his wife and the youngest son once or twice when they stopped by on an occasional Saturday night at closing. I remember Jerry his brother stopping by. I stopped by the Atkins barber shop last year and inquired about Johnny. I left a message. I hope he got it. Thank you for allowing me to share this message.
