Sincere condolences goes out to the Johnson family. My entire family held Larry in high regard as a person and considered him family. I can truly say he will be missed but certainly not forgotten. His legacy of a caring, friendly and happy person will live on in the lives of those he touched. Until we meet again my brother I'll cherish the memories.
