You will never be forgotten my friend or the hours we worked and laughed and laughed. Good times. My heart goes out to all family and friends.

Dear Betty & Family: Please accept our heartfelt sympathy on the loss of Jimmy. Working down the hall from Betty at Westinghouse, I felt as thought I knew Jimmy.. When my husband and I were planning a trip to Britain, Jimmy & Betty arranged for us to meet his late brother & wife, Billy & Pat. Good memories.
May he rest in peace.

Goodbye uncle Jimmy. The King of the Johnstons as he himself would profess. To be succeeded but never replaced by his son my cousin Jim Johnston. He was a very special person indeed. Goodbye again uncle Jimmy.
