Just learned of Eddie's passing. Ray and I send you all our deepest condolences. Even though it's been decades since we've seen each other I still have warm memories of family visits. Always enjoyed spending time with Eddie and your Mom, and getting to know you all before we moved to New Hampshire. I know loving memories will help to soften your grief. Love, Rose Marie (Julia's daughter) and Ray.

My deepest condolences to the entire family. I was blessed to know Mr. Johnson for over 30 years. He was one of the kindest men I've ever met. He had a mind like a steel trap and I loved hearing all of his memories of D.C. and the surrounding areas. He was a man of God and loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, as evidenced by the beautiful family he left behind. RIP Mr. Johnson. You will be forever in my heart.
