Johann came from a family of two beautiful sisters and loving parents.
Johann and his beloved wife, Lilian, raised 7 children who loved and admired them. In his later years, Johann would often say, "Before having children, I had 7 theories on raising children, but no children. After raising children, I had 7 children and no theories."
Johann always put his family first, and they never doubted his unwavering love for them. He is survived by his children and their spouses, Cicely & Martin, Andre &Judy, Nielen & Miko, Leon & Mandy, Lauren & Francis, Stephanie & Andrew, Barry & Lisa, 21 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, with another 4 on the way..
