Lloyd form a great deal of the character in so many of us. Lloyd guided me in so many things .through out my youth. Swim Team, Life Guarding, first job as assistant manager and then eventually firing me. Boy did I deserve that! Lloyd contributed hugely to my successes in life. I am grateful for his guidance.

Coach Johnson was a admired and well respected coach at Johnston Jr. High. He will use his wings to keep watch over everyone that he had mentored and coached during his lifetime. My prayers go out to the Johnson family.

Susan and I send our deepest condolences to Phyllis and the Johnson family for their loss. Coach was a wonderful man and taught and mentored so many youngsters during his long tenure at HISD. He was known as Coach to all who knew him and we will miss him deeply. For me that time goes all the way back to the early 1970's at Willow Meadows Baptist Church, and most recently at Sugar Land Baptist. Always faithful in all he did with his students, family and church...such a life deserves the tribute "well done my good and faithful servant" Rest in Peace Coach.

Sincere condolences to Phyllis and his loving family.

Coach Johnson was a great coach but he instilled much more to a group of 8th grade ball players in 1976. Lessons and values still used today. Prayers for the Johnson Family .

I was coached by Coach Johnson at Deady Junior High in the late 1950s. He was a good man and coach and made a positive contribution in the character development of many student athletes.

Very sad to see this news about Coach. I sure feel lucky to have been one of his students at Johnston. Always enjoyed running into him at Luby's before they moved. Coach always greeted me with a big genuine smile and firm handshake. My condolences to all who mourn Hoang passing. He shaped many lives in a positive way.
