I have fond memories as a child and young adult of Uncle Richard at the Johnson Family Reunions. He was a loving, personable man with a sense of humor and a fondness for recollecting stories of his growing up years. Since my Grandpa (James) Johnson passed away when I was a baby, I always enjoyed talking with Uncle Richard since I felt like I could catch a glimpse of what my Grandpa must've been like as well. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family who are grieving Uncle Richard's passing. "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" ~I Corinthians 2:9 With Love, Ron, Kathy, Caleb, Abigail, and Isabella Zylstra
