Johnny Hancock was a complex man who lived a very simple life. During his life he refined his passion for the arts whether in music, on stage or simply with a sketch pad. While growing up, he spent most of his time playing sports - mainly baseball. However, his most precious moments were spent next to his father “fishing”. Later in life he developed a love for the game of golf, which he strived to play each and every weekend. While having a very simplistic look on life; He believed in honor, respect and most of all the value of being loyal. At the age of “59”, Johnny leaves us with a successful career of 24 years with Goodman Industries. He also leaves behind two sons and eight grandchildren as well as a lifetime of memories.

John Herbert Hancock, Jr., a complex man who led life to the fullest “WILL” always be remembered as a friend, a mentor and in some cases a hero who was loved by many. We will miss you…
