Thank you Dr. JP for being a wonderful example of a surgeon and human being. I loved working with you at Moline Public and my Mother enjoyed your visit with Dr. Zimmer when she was alive. I knew exactly who she was talking about when she said how friendly and kind you were. Bless you.

Dr, Johnson was one of the most interesting people I have met. I always enjoyed seeing him. He was kind, generous, and one of a kind. He will be missed. My sympathies to the family.

Dr. Johnston was a great surgeon and even better man. He was a very good friend of my late father's, Dr. Decker Lardner. Dr. Johnston left the world a better place.

JP was more than a Dr. He was a great friend and always cared about people. Joyce I worked for him when Jane was on vacation. He would always call you back and even come to the house. We thought a lot about how good he was and no one can ever replace him. You have our sympathy and hope you are doing well.

Condolences to Joyce and his family. I will miss J.P.
