Arvid V. "Whitey" Johnson

I couldn't have asked for a better father in law than Arvid. He was the most generous and loving man I ever met. There wasn't a thing he wouldn't do to help out a family member, friend or stranger.

We were happy that he was able to attend Dad's 80th birthday celebration a few years back and play a few tunes on an accordian he had just picked up at a garage sale.
Wonder where the "old-time" music section gathers in heaven? ...

As a father, he was the best. He was modest and unassuming. He always showed his love to my mom in the way he talked and acted, a good role model for us. His biggest concern was shown as he worked very hard to provide for the family.
