Not sure what to say?

I'm so sad to see this. We worked together as Security Guards on the ABC. Billy was such a funny guy and positive attude about the world. We had so much fun working together. I saw him at the reunion 2 years ago. We will miss you so much. Be free as the wind my friend. Peggy n Guy

Sorry to hear of Bills passing.I knew him from Alton Belle. What a good guy really enjoyed talking to him.

So sorry to bear of Bills passing. I worked with the "Candyman" for many years at the Casino and enjoyed visiting with him at the Mall. He always had a pocket full of candy to make the ladies smile and if candy didnt work a smile and song would. Rip in my friend!

I meet Bill on a number of occasions, he was witty, friendly and a real joy to be around. He was truly a good man, I am sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to the Johnson family.

I had the pleasure to have known him. I worked with him on the Aton Belle. Belle 5 is how he was known. He would always sing to the employees, sometimes over the radio. He had a good sense of humor. I will miss him. Sing loudly in heaven!!

Bill is the nicest man I have ever met. Rest in peace.

So sorry for your loss. What a wonderful man. Always upbeat, caring and loving! He was in security when I worked on the Alton Belle. RIP, Bill! See you on the other side. Lot's of Love!

Charismatic, kind, hilarious, wise...those are just a few things I can say about Bill Johnson. I worked with him for 7 years. He was my best officer hands down! He's loved and missed by many. Wishing love, strength and peace to his family.

So many things I could say about my old friend Bill. A charmer for sure. Funny, wise, loving and loved by many! My best officer for sure. I love you and miss you my friend.
