Johnny and Judy had just celebrated their 24th anniversary this year. Johnny was a painter and craftsman. He worked for OPUBCO as a painting foreman for 34 years.
Johnny was a dedicated and loyal worker and he prided himself on never missing a day of work. Johnny was an avid fisherman, camper and gardener. He loved to play cards, refinish furniture, OU football and attend his church Sunday school group every Wednesday and Sunday.
Johnny never met anyone he didn’t like nor had a bad thing to say about anyone. He loved life and there was always a silver lining to every obstacle which life brought his way. Johnny was a dedicated and loyal husband, father and friend.
He had a very close relationship with God, he did not fear death and knew when his time came he welcomed his journey home to heaven. Johnny would not want any of his loved ones who he left behind on earth to be sad but to be joyful he has found eternal life. Johnny Neil Hampton was a wonderful man and was golden.
In the words of Robert Frost, “Nothing Gold Can Stay”. Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to dusk. Nothing gold can stay.
