Vic and Joyce were part of our summer community at Cape Cod. They were great neighbors and friends. Vic was very handy, always willing to help out with projects. He was so knowledgeable about many subject but always so humble.He was an all around affable guy. We really enjoyed his company. Our condolences to Joyce and all of Vic´s family.

I too had the honor to know Victor J Johnson. He, and his wife (Winifred), and his loving family welcomed me to their family on my 21st Birthday. Victor, his eldest had invited me back to meet them because ironically we had the same Birthday and were the same age. From that day on I was to call them Mom and Dad Johnson.
I experienced many milestones with them as the decades passed by. My wedding, the birth of my daughter...I think what I will remember most was being included for all the holiday dinners. Also the family barbecues were legendary as we all grew older together.
For whatever reason as I reached my 50´s we drifted apart. I guess it´s just life...I am happy to hear he passed peacefully with family by his side. He was a good man!

I would like to send my condolences to the family of Victor. He, along with Joyce his wife, were longtime volunteers at Longmont United Hospital. Vic volunteered for over 13 years bringing books and movies to patients and then helping families in our surgery waiting room. He always had a smile on his face and a very warm heart. We will miss him.
