So sorry to bear of Bills passing. I worked with the "Candyman" for many years at the Casino and enjoyed visiting with him at the Mall. He always had a pocket full of candy to make the ladies smile and if candy didnt work a smile and song would. Rip in my friend!

I had the pleasure to have known him. I worked with him on the Aton Belle. Belle 5 is how he was known. He would always sing to the employees, sometimes over the radio. He had a good sense of humor. I will miss him. Sing loudly in heaven!!

Charismatic, kind, hilarious, wise...those are just a few things I can say about Bill Johnson. I worked with him for 7 years. He was my best officer hands down! He's loved and missed by many. Wishing love, strength and peace to his family.
