Chuck's gift of humor and improvising save our wedding from being a huge, boring disaster! We were outside with a slightly intoxiated driver awaiting a tip and a date with my little sister and as we sorted this out; God Bless Chuck Johnson, he took the stage and one of the things he always does best, he was "balm of gilead" and bridged the gap and made our special day work! This is one of many blessings we received from this incredible man.
We love all the Johnsons.
Eileen and Christopher Sanford and our "Quiver full". Judy, Vicki, Chris, Matt and Jen you were always a blessing to us as well our deepest condolence to you all. Heaven is now a happier place.
