I found this in the newspaper this morning(not sure which one but I just typed it up):

"Late punk guitarist Johnny Ramone is being immortalized with a bronze statue at the Hollywood Forever Cemetary. Ramone, cofounder and guitarist of The Ramones, was 55 when he died of prostate cancer on Sept. 15 2004, at his Los Angeles home. The statue is near the grave of bandmate Dee Dee Ramone, who died of a drug overdose in 2002. The Johnny Ramone monument, created by artist Wayne Toth, shows Ramone playing his Mosrite guitar and it features the words, 'If a man can judge success by how many great friends he has, then I have been very successful -- Johnny Ramone'"
