Dear Barb,
I’m so sorry to hear about Charles. He was always such a good guy. I’ll miss him, and I still miss your mom!

Our hearts and prayers go out to Barb and his family. R.I.P. Charles you will be missed by many.
To ALL my Johnson family I want to say I’m so sorry for your loss. My dad & I had our differences, but that never stopped us from loving each other. It took awhile, but we came back into each others lives and I am so thankful to God for that. Let his life journey be a wake up call & reminder that time waits for No One and we ALL have to get it together. My journey with my father is not over because I can begin a new journey with Charles the 3rd (my Lil Big Brother). lol I love you all & be blessed.
A truly fine human being and it was my pleasure to know him and work with him. Condolences to family and friends.
