I am John Johns Sr. and started working in the monument business in 1968 at the age of 9 years
old. My experience with monuments began with my father, Clayton Johns, who was the founder of C & J Lettering in 1967. After I turned 18, I began working for Phillips Display Company
in Ottawa and stepped away from the family business for a short period of time. In 1990 my father, Clayton, passed away and I began working in the lettering business while maintaining full time
employment with Phillips Display Company. My oldest son, John Johns II began working with me doing monument lettering in 1995 and has remained in the business to the present day.
I retired in 1998 from my position at Phillips and continued in the lettering business full time. In 2002, we changed our name from C & J Lettering to Trinity Lettering Company which is
still in business today and serving over 60 other monument dealers and funeral homes in the Northwest Ohio region. My youngest son, Steve, began working with monuments in 2002 and also remains
in the business today. We opened our first monument retail store in 2006, Findlay Monument Company, which is Findlay’s only full service monument dealer. In March of 2008, we opened our
second monument retail store, John Johns Family Monuments, in Lima; during 2010 we relocated the store to Cridersville. To present day, my sons and I maintain both monument retail stores and the
lettering business.
