Richard, (Johnny), it was my pleasure to have had the opportunity to get to know you. I remember, your wedding day. My cousin, Annette, looked beautiful on her wedding day. My Pepere, thought the world of you, and told everyone that his granddaughter, was a lucky girl to find a wonderful husband. He treasured his wife, and suffered a large loss in hi s life. They, were always together, and a close family, which included our Uncle Ray, as he lived there with the whole Johnson family. May he rest in peace, and will be reunited with his beautiful wife, Annette. Our thoughts and prayers, go out to the Johnson family on their loss. The Thurber family, Bill, Elaine, Carole and Cheryl. Rest in peace.
