Johnny graduated from Bishop Boyle High School, served in the US Army and was an Instructor at West Point. He also worked 33 years as a Construction Inspector for the City of Pittsburgh. He enjoyed Harley Davidson motorcycles, leather saddlery and the outdoors-fishing, camping, boating and hunting.
