Sorry about your loss of Allen. I am his cousin and have not seen him since he was young, at a family reunion at Mantorville, MN. My Mom was Ida, a sister of Carl. She passed away 23 years ago. Her birthday was Friday the 13th of September. God bless you all in your time of sorrow.
Sue, Josh, DJ and Jodi,
Will hold you all in our prayers.
Rest in peace Uncle Al.
Stacey (Johnson) and Eric Weichert
and all our family
So sorry, Josh and Rainey, on your loss. Hug your memories close. Love you, Laura and Kevin
Darlene was kind enough to send me an email of Al’s death. I am so sorry for your loss. As a child our family often visited my aunt Susan and uncle Carl,but don’t remember much about that. I do remember that Joann stayed with us when she had her cancer treatments in St.Paul. We also had Julius in
our home in So.St.Paul when he had visits to the Gillette hospital in St.Paul. I have lived in Florida since 1964, but still have great memories of my childhood in Minnesota. The Johnson family is growing smaller each year, but we are a hardy bunch and come from good Danish stock. Wish I had gotten to know you all when we lived in Minnesota, but did want to offer my condolences to all of your family.
May comfort all of you in this time of sadness. Betty
Josh, I’m sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. Thoughts and prayers stay with you and your family.
