| In Loving Memory of Larry W. Johns: Larry captured countless smiles & momentous occasions in his 30+ years of photography in our community. He grew up in Kittanning but actually began his photography career by doing horse photography in Florida. After relocating back to Pennsylvania, he set up shop in Ford City and switched his photography focus to people. Larry Johns Photography was opened in 1990. He took great pride in providing lasting memories to his customers, many whom became friends. He was incredibly giving & supportive of all the local sports & school organizations that he photographed & always stressed the importance of these organizations & the services they provided to our community. Larry was widely know for his famous 1...2...3 when snapping a photo & the kids he photographed always loved to count along with him as the shutter fired. He was joined in business for the past 18 years by his sidekick, Kelly Grabiec & together they worked side by side providing photography to the community. Kelly will be carrying on his legacy as he wished by continuing his business. He is survived by his loving wife Mary Johns who owns & operates Center Stage Dance Studio in Ford CIty. |
