After the death of their father and coach, daughter
Nancy and son Peter continued to swim in competition.
Nancy later
continued Johnny's "Learn to Swim" program and "Annual
Water Shows" in both Bloomington, Indiana and Florida. Her shows
included clown diving, nightshirt relay, spoon and egg
race, synchronized swimming and were a copy of her father's water
shows at Riviera...but on a much smaller scale.

WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU"
Your Daughter,
Nancy

Like Father, Like Son. Prior to his death, Johnny had just started Little
Pete on the diving board. I have no doubt that if Johnny had lived, Pete
would most certainly have become an accomplished diver.
