My dad, Ken Johnson, lives at Beaverdale Estates and was a friend of your dad, so I got to know him. He always had a smile and always had his pocket full of tootsie rolls to hand out. He was a joy to be around! I lost mom 11 yeaars ago in April, so I know it's hard to lose a parent. My thoughts are with you.

My condolences to Robin and Rich. I always enjoyed listening to your Dad tell stories and share his political views. It's comforting to know he is in heaven now with Jesus his Savior.
