Carl was a very loving man. "Living Life" seemed to be his motto.
He had a passion for entertaining people with his music, and would even do a little "boot scootin" himself. He touched many lives, and he will be greatly missed. Rich and Mary Priest

Mr. Johnson was a very friendly and dear person whom I had the priviledge to know while Eunice and Ray lived next to us while growing up. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. I will miss seeing him and the retirement home where he lived in San Antonio.
