Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers. This past weekend has overwhelming, to say the least. Jimmy's family will be attending a memorial mass @ 11:am Sunday 1-22-12 at St. Micheals in Garden City. After mass we are planning to leave from the Marsh Walk behind Drunken Jacks to return his ashes to the sea he so loved. An autograph book will be at first the church then moved to the boardwalk. Anyone please feel free to come to either location to sign and walk the boardwalk in remembrance. Thanks again to all.

To the Johnson's: This seems to get even harder as the shock begins to abate and reality sets in. Its been 39 years, and I think of all the help that Jimmy and Steve have been to me. The girls checking up on me. The many chats in our front and back yards. The many tv shows we watched on your couch. The many, many great meals that Beverly prepared and I was included (part because she would fix extra for me and part because Ferdinand preferred hot dogs). You have always treated me as part of the family, and I feel a part of it, and I don't want to say "Goodbye" to anymore Johnsons. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you, and I am here for you in anyway I can help. Your neighbor.
