Imagine my shock when I read the news. I only found out about 2 months ago. I remember our talks at "McPondles", watching HGTV, and painting your apartment. I'll always have great memories of you, Ray! Rest in peace. My thoughts are with you and your family.
love,

Ray,
It seems things are getting on track with me and it seems odd that I am doing this alone. We always called it an aventure, I miss our adventures. I am settled now in Denver and I talk to MJ just about every week. I miss you as much today as I did the first day.
Ray always listened and gave meaningful support and advice. He is a true friend.

Ray,
It's been a while since I wrote, but thought this was the perfect day because it is Jennifer's birthday. I know it's the first time you are not here for her birhday, but that you look down and smile at the wonderful young lady that she is. Both of the girls have shown strength, but both sorely miss their Dad. We all do. Jenn has left Texas and so now has Dale. He has settled into Denver with new beginnings ahead, and knowing youre keeping an eye out. I plan on seeing Jenn for dinner later and hearing about all her new endeavors. I know you're proud of both girls.

Ray, our home is now livable. I will be moving in this weekend and finish up things as I can. Our dogs (Rocky and Leila) will finally be back with me, I guess that is the most I can ask for to be back to normal. As time passes i should be able to deal with this but I can't I think of you everyday. I miss you Ray more and more I am so glad Jennie, MJ, Auntie J, Jenn and Cait are a part of my life they remind me of you so much.

Ray,
Christmas has passed and you were sorely missed. Cait and Jenn came out to my house (as usual) on Christmas Day and we had a very nice time. After opening gifts we headed out to the cemetary to visit with you. Don't know if you heard us or not, but we were there talking about you. Both of your girls are beautiful & spectacular. Jenn and I went to see the musical "Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" the other day. I think you may have seen that with us a few years back. I can't recall. Anyway...you were missed Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and every day.

Ray I am not sure how I made it through a month without you here. Everyday is a struggle. Brookhaven College has your memorial the 22nd and a section of the libary is going to be named the Raymond D Johnson Libary. Your name will live on forever but I miss seeing your face.

Ray,
I can't believe a month has gone by since you left us. Want to let you know I keep my eyes on the girls, from here and afar. Christmas is approaching and it will be different this year without you here with us. We will toast you, remember you, and miss you.

Raymond Johnson was a great mentor to my daughter in the Brookhaven ACT program in Dallas. He was very encouraging to her; he was diligent with classroom training, test reviews, paperwork, contacts and recommendation letters, and he was so pleased when she got her teaching job! We were very sad to learn of his recent death. The program will continue, but it will not be the same without him! My daughter wrote in a recent email to ACT, "I have LOVED teaching! I also will miss Raymond. He was SUCH a GREAT help with getting me going and encouraging all of us. Elise Sims"

I have been thinking about you evey day. I put my Christmas tree up and hung the beautiful ornaments you and Dale gave us from France. I treasure those ornaments and hung them in very special places. I look at them and see you. Dale will be spending the holiday with us, we will talk about you and laugh and cry at the same time. I miss you my cousin,
Love Neenie

We have known Ray and his family for nearly 40 years, we all "grew up" together back on Long Island through the 60's 70's 80's with many happy memories. Our deepest sympathy, to Jeniffer, Caitlin, Tom, Margaret, Dale, and extended family.

Ray,
So many wonderful memories of the summer/fall 1969 through 1971. We were so young! You always made me laugh. TSS stationary department, Jones Beach with Bob F.,Jody, Bobby E., Ginnie and Alan (before they were a "Ginnie and Alan"),Joanie, Margaret, Blanche,and of course The Miracle Mets. I'm so grateful we had a chance to re-connect this past summer. You seemed happy and at peace, and your love for and pride in your daughters was evident.
My heartfelt condolences to your family and friends and to you Dale.
Ray, we had so much fun back then. I will miss you always. Robin

Ray,
I keep picturing you sitting on the couch, nodding off and then you saying "I'm just resting my eyes" Ha! I'm having lunch with Jenn tomorrow before she heads back to Texas. She and I are gonna go through the Mass Cards and other cards of sympathy. You would have been so proud of the girls throughout this ordeal. Dale too. He stayed with me and held up pretty well. So many family and friends paid homage to you. You are sorely missed.

I will always cherish my close friendship to Ray. I was nourished by his support and energy. Throughout the last nine years, he often expressed to me his pride in Caitlin and Jennifer and his devotion to them. He was, indeed, the proud father. In the last five years, Ray's creativity remained vital. He found true joy in accepting new challenges. Ray was my loyal friend. I shall miss him.
