I live on Pine Grove Street Gary Johnson was a good friend to me. We watched many Patriot football games together wrud old movies, he loved to watch westerns. We went out to eat on occasions to his favorite restaurants, but mostly ordered out and he would never let me pay no matter how much I insisted. I was always welcomed into his home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I assisted Gary with many things around his house and visited him often. When I was at his home he always offered me to stay for dinner. He told me great stories of his past of when he worked at swan point cemetery. We talked about many things that he wanted to accomplish. He was a very generous person that cared about everyone. He was a good friend that you could talk to and rely on and I will miss him greatly. My condolence to his wife and the rest of the family.
