To the family, I pray we find strength to continue.
I can still hear uncle's voice, at 6 am
wondering why everyone is still asleep. Yes he did because he knew he could get away with it. Yes friends can get away with alot,brothers even more. You could always count on him. Yes he was my uncle but he was also my friend.
I will miss him greatly. I know he would want us to be strong for each other.
Love

Mitch

Dear Uncle Faithon,
I still sit in disbelief that we can no longer hear or see you. Your "very loud" voice was always a part of my world. Somehow I never expected it to be silenced. This world will miss you, however, I suspect you have gone on and not changed a bit (smile)! My comfort comes in knowing that your are now with your family and friends that have gone before you...no doubt creating absolute havoc! Fortunately, you will remain forever in my heart and in my memories...til we meet again!

Uncle Faithon you are missed dearly. There was no one like you and I don't believe there will be one to come after you. You were taken far too soon (like my mother and father) but God knew best. We will miss your smiling face and "ALL" the laughter you brought to this family.
I'll love you Always~

The family will miss you deeply Uncle Faithon. Please tell my mother that she left too soon, but I know she will be happy to have her baby brother with her in heaven. I know you will keep everyone laughing until we are ready to join you behind those pearly gates (as Nana would say).
Love you forever,
Jeri

He will heel those areas in each of your lives that only he can touch. With God, you can only hope that your years of happiness and your many good memories of Faithone, Dad and Pop-Pop will enable you to live with this loss.
Affectionately yours

My condolences to the Johnson Family. I knew Laufie through Erin McKee. I met him when I was just a teen and always enjoyed his company the very few times I saw him throughout the years. He was a kind and wonderful man and it was my privilege to have known him.
