He was the grandfather I didn't have. He taught me so much and helped mold me into the man I am today. I was so lucky to have him in my life for so long. Forever my favorite fishing partner, I love you and miss you uncle.

The Final Salute
“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Percy Lemo Johnson, Sr. our “Brother-in-Arms”. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Percy. And to Percy it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country while serving in the U.S. Army. Percy, we commend you for your honorable service. You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 1,261 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 233 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to Percy's family and loved ones.

On May 23rd Mr. Percy and Mrs. Pearl once again joined hands. They spent 61 years together on earth and now will be together for eternity. We first met Mr. Percy and Mrs. Pearl in 2003 and shortly after my wife and I moved into the fishing camp and immediately became fast friends with both of them. Percy or Pearl never met a stranger. I have never heard anyone say anything but good about them. I will miss our daily conversations and times of fellowship with him. I will not hear the tap of his cane on my front door asking "Is anyone home". He was a prince of a man and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
