A good man and friend to many passed away on Monday morning. He was surrounded by his family at the time he left this earth and went to see Jesus, face to face.

Mr. Johnny Ingram passed away at his Abbeville home.  He owned and operated for decades Johnny Ingram Company in Dothan.

I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Johnny and breaking bread with he and his family on Sunday at his mother's house in Enon.
