I want to add my sympathy in your dad's homegoing. How wonderful to know he now has a new mind and is experiencing heaven. He was a student and scholar of the Book of Revelation and is now experiencing some of it. Roger was a friend of my husband (Irv Erickson) since early childhood and I loved hearing stories of their driving experiences.
I am so thankful for the wonderful memories of times we shared with Roger and Zola and then with Roger and Doris. Lots of Hand and Foot games. He had such a great big heart and made the best almond tarts.

Roger taught me how to fish, not to stand up in a boat, and not to get my line caught in the motor.
Words to live by.
I loved him almost as much as my dad.
Rest In Peace Roger.
My condolence to Danny and Steve(Pete) and the entire Johnson family.
