Earline and family— so sorry for your loss. Matt was a good friend of my brother, Ed. I can still remember when I was young Ed and Matt coming to our house in the wee hours of morning to make breakfast after a night out.

Our Sympathy goes out to the Johnson family. Uncle Matt was loved by everyone and always surrounded by friends. He had a big heart and always looked up to by his sisters, Joan and Marion. Family was everything to Matt. He will be missed by so many people and will always have a place in our heart.

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Rest in Peace.

Love always,
Barb, John and Scott Mochon

Gentleman describes Matt to a T. My wife, Mary, had a special connection to the old days of Hygrade Market (Johnson's). She appreciated how Matt shared the stories, and old photos, of all of the butchers who worked alongside her Grandfather. Matt was a story teller, and he will be missed by many. Condolences to Earline and family. Rest in peace.

My memories of spending time with your family bring me so much joy, Hampton Beach, Sunday mornings at your house, etc. His kind and Joyful heart will never be forgotten.

To the entire Johnson family;
I am so sorry to read about Mr Johnson’s passing. I remember walking Crestwood with everyone when we were growing up seeing him sitting in the garage in the summer having his Genny Cream Ales... hope he’s having one for all of us up above. My condolences to the family and you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
