We are so selfish, I wanted you to stay with us longer, we always needed your wisdom and advice. We accept that God wanted you too. We will miss you forever.

I loved Frank! He always had a smile and a solution whenever I needed something for our drama projects. Who could ever forget Frank as one of the three kings in the Majesty productions? He always came to rehearsals and patiently waited for his time on stage without complaining. A one in a million guy!

Frank was the most positive person I had ever met! When things were tough, he always said "It´s an opportunity". I never forgot that and always try to remember that when trouble comes my way. I enjoyed his smile and willingness to give an encouraging word. My sympathy and prayers go out to the family!

Frank was one of my favorite people on earth! I so enjoyed working with him during my 5 years of employment at CCC. He taught me so much, not only about the facilities aspect, but just how to be kind & generous and how to treat every coworker with decency & respect. He chose to call problems or difficult situations "opportunities" and always faced them head-on with a great attitude. He was such a hard worker and encourager- an inspiration to all who were blessed to know him! Frank was the epitome of a Godly man...a Godly husband, father, friend.
I´m just devastated that I´ll be out of town for Frank´s service, but, Johnson Family, please know that you all will be in my heart and that you´re loved and cared for!
Frank Johnson. What a man. Heaven has gained one of the very best. I´ll sure miss him, but I know without a shadow of a doubt that I´ll see him again someday!
