My sincerely condolences go out to the Johnson family.
I was James' Sergeant when he first graduated the police academy and landed on my platoon in Patrol division. James was always a pleasure to work with. He was a dedicated police officer and represented the department with distinction. James was always so spit and polished......you would swear he had been in the Marines. Always a gentleman, always with a smile. Everyone loved James Johnson.
Until we meet again brother James.....God speed!

To the Johnson family,

So sorry to hear about James. I worked with him election time in City hall, he would always have us laughing about stuff, telling us what house projects he did and was going to do and talking about the love for his family. I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet him. He was always the same JJ smiling and laughing.
May God give you all strength during this difficult time. Keeping you in my prayers.
Deepest sympathy,
J. Patterson
