Meet Johnny Crumley, the Outside Coordinator for Chattahoochee Golf Course. Johnny drove 100 miles to work for 33 years. Now he lives just around the corner 
from a job where he gets to spend his days outside on beautiful grounds and around a game he loves.
Johnny likes listening to live music on the Gainesville Square, enjoying a “deviled egg sandwich,” and when asked when in his life he has felt the most satisfied, he said, “That’s easy. When I am with my wife Terri and we are surrounded by our children and grandchildren.” His smile is contagious and his laid back attitude refreshing.
We thank Johnny for taking time to tell us about his life to share with fellow members of our community.
