Sincere Condolences to the family of Judge Johnson. My Dad went to L.W.H.S. with "Red", "Butter", "Pepper" & "Stoogie"-(my dad). I was aquainted with the Judge as my work is retrieved from courthouse records, I would see him alot of mornings & we would exchange pleasantries. I know surely he will be missed by all those who knew & Loved him.
