Not sure what to say?

My good friend, Billy, left us after a final illness of a number of weeks. He was a very personable man. I had known him for many years, probably beginning with our early church work at Our Lady of Sorrows Church. He was a talented lawyer, a highly respected Judge, and an exemplary family-man. We, the members of the Executive Committee, will all miss him very much. Requiescat in Pace !!

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Johnson for about 12 years. He was a fine lawyer and a good friend. Although I did not see much of him over the past 30 years, I have thought about him many times as he is a person you could never forget. We had some good laughs together. My prayers go out to Mrs. Johnson and the rest of the family.

To Marilyn and family, Please accept our deepest sympathy and prayers for you at this sad time. May Bill rest in peace!

Marilyn and family - THE JUDGE was such a fun part of Bobby's life these last 10 or 12 years. I will miss them both and their crazy golf stories. Please know all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.Love to each of you.

I had the pleasure of working for Mr. Johnson at McGowen & McGowen, and I was the one that typed up his application to become Judge. It was an honor to have done so, and I am of the opinion, as of so many others, that he made a very fine Judge, indeed. I truly valued him as a mentor and a wonderful boss and friend.

My sympathies go out to his family and many friends.
