I am saddened to hear of his passing, and I send my sincerest condolences to Ginger and the rest of his family. (I used to work at Nay & Friedenberg, where Rees was of-counsel.)

I was very sorry to hear of Rees's death. I didn't reallze he had Parkinson's Disease; He was always such a vital person.

We consider Rees a good friend. He was always kind and supportive of our business. Very sorry for your loss, and we will miss Rees.

To The Family of Rees Johnson:
I am very sorry for your loss!
I was saddened to read in the paper that Mr. Johnson had passed away. Mr. Johnson was the Trust attorney for my parents, Dr. Jack and Ruth Collings. His kindness to them over the years and his professional guidance were greatly appreciated. He gave careful attention to guiding my mother after my father's death and then, as my mother was aging, he gave me invaluable advise in how to protect and care for her. We all had great...

Don and I were deeply saddened to see Rees's obituary in the paper. Ginger, we wish you strength in responding to this terrible loss and peace in looking
to your life ahead. You are in our hearts and minds.

Pat and Don Pagaon
