I first met Johnny Matkin on the playground of Central Elementary School, Irving Texas. He used to call me the "Sewer Man" after the character played by Art Carney on the Honey mooners, a popular 1950s TV series. Don't know why he called me that.
Lost track of Johnny during High School. I'm glad that he lived a long happy life among family and friends.

John was a great guy. He was always smiling and had a joke to tell. I will miss his stories about how his garden is better this year than last. His vegetables were bigger and tasted better every year. I know they were. He will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace. Love, PJ

God Looked Around His Garden
God looked around His garden
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered "Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
May you rest in Peace, Johnnie.
Thanks for making me smile♥
Love you♥-Dana

I was so sorry to hear of Johnny's passing. I only knew him for a short time, but just loved being around him and Carolyn. What a lovely man with such a great sense of humor. Carolyn -- please know that we are here if you need us. Johnny did love his "Sapphire"!
