Mr. Johnson was a kind and wonderful man. He alway greated you with a warm smile and a joyful laugh. He was part of a purple heart soldier group that met every second Wednesday of the month at Hilltop. I had the pleasure of greeting him for 3.5 yrs at Hilltop. He truely cared about others. I'm deeply saddened for his families loss because i know he must have brought them such joy.

My cousin was a very good person, he helped me though some challenging situations, and when we were up every Christmas he gave me chocolate covered cherries and a ring , as adults we did not see each other often yet we shared so much over the years until I am left with some very precious memories,
