I realized that if I allowed it to happen, this website would become a gravesite, with lots of Might-have-beens, sadness and regrets  — items that Johnny would never stand for.  He was all about joy,  creativity, exuberance and love of life; and so, amidst the facts of his final year which I must share,  I will also give a healthy dose of the Johnny that we and millions of others loved.

Here he is, rehearsing a scene with a friend.
