I just learned of Mr. Johnson's passing today. He was without question the best boss I have ever worked for, and one of the finest Christian men I have ever known. I'll see you again, sir.

Jim and Nancy was the dearest of friends to Loyd and I. He was always wearing that beautiful smile. He was the truest of true Christians. I always had to kid him about his driving, and he knew it was coming. He was a perfect example for all who yearn to be Christ like. I am sure he had a glow on his face when he walked thru those gates to Heaven.

Jim was a Godly gentle man. I am glad to have been able to call him my friend when he was in leadership at Bible Study Fellowship.

Jim was a man who spoke softly but his message of commitment to the Lord was clearly heard. He was a man of conviction and character. Nancy, I am praying for you as you walk this difficult journey.
