    Yes, Harold will be greatly missed, especially by his sister and siblings. As the youngest , I didn’t get to see him alot, when he was serving in the Navy. But he would bless us with post cards and special gifts from other countries. I think that his travels gave me a yearning to travel too.
    He had a very tender heart. And I am thankful I got to catch up on time with him and enjoyed visiting he and Mary these last several years. He was so sweet, considerate and thoughtful. I will miss him, but look forward to seeing him in heaven. Love you Harold, thank you for all the blessings you were a part of in my life! Pamela Johnson

    Hearts are heavy in Texas and Tennessee, but there’s a welcome home party going on in heaven! One more Johnson angel has joined our family of saints…and the laughter and joy in heaven is multiplied by the assurance that we will see them all again in heaven one day! We remember with love Harold’s dedication to his country and his family, his tales about his travels, his smile and his laughter. Our love and prayers are with Mary and the rest of the family. May God fill your hearts with the peace and happy memories.
