As this chapter in my father's life is about to close, I'd like to say thank you to everyone who shared their fondest memories of him with us. Dad was a kind and gentle man who never aspired to either fame or fortune but, thanks to all of you, he passed away a very wealthy man. I will love and miss him always. "In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you." John 14:2

Nothing can take away a Daughters Love for Her Dad. Just like nothing can take away a Sons Love for his Mother. The two go hand in hand and have forever. All I ask is Dad, please watch over Mom forever and ever. Love you to the absolute Max.........Your Daughter (which I always signed my cards as), Julie

I grew up across the street from the Johnson's and of course Jalmer was our delivery man. My fondest memory is on Halloween he would give out boxes of juice or chocolate milk instead of candy. It was always a must stop!. Maybe he will be back to deliverying in a better place. Godspeed Jalmer.

Words can not express the heartfelt gratitude I have for having the opportunity to know Jalmer. He was one of the kindest and caring people I know. I learned to tie my first tie from Grandpa Johnson. I will never forget my memories of him or Grandma. New Richmond was a better place for having Grandpa Johnson there.

I bought my first brand new car from Jalmer, I never forgot him, he helped a silly kid order a car without acting like a car salesman!
