Please consider donating to the cause of helping elderly when they are at their weakest... Elderly abuse can be Committed by somebody financially, psychologically or physically, taking advantage of that person this means withholding funds for medical purposes, leaving somebody in danger when they are not physically able to manage and mentally making them feel they are not worthwhile-I do really hope that people can learn more about this and save person and their family tremendous grief.

To the entire Johnson family I am so very sorry for your loss. I just heard about your father´s passing.

I met Al back in the early 1990s. He had represented a young man from Hingham back in the early 80s. I was from the town of Hull back then and I remembered reading about the case in the patriot ledger when I was a young girl, and expressing to my mother, what a horrible circumstance it was, and how lucky he was to have such a wonderful lawyer.

Well, years later, I met that young man and became friends with him. He introduced me to your father and your father continued to be a wonderful support to that young man. He was incredibly compassionate and empathetic, kind and generous to him.

Your father was also very kind to me in any of our communications.

I happen to think of him the other day, and looked him up and found that he had passed. As everyone here has expressed he was a lovely man. And I am so very sorry for your loss.

May God, Carry you and all those whose lives he touched through this very difficult time.

God bless all of you, and may he rest in sweet eternal peace
