Dear Johnson Family,

I recently talked to an old friend, Bryan Wetherell, and was shocked, and so very sad, to hear that Danny passed away. I grew up on the same street, 89th and Carpenter, in the Brainerd neighborhood, of Chicago. and Danny, on 90th and Carpenter. I married his friend, and next door neighbor, Jim Carter. I have known Danny since we were kids in grammar school. I even talked to him on Classmates.com, a few years ago. So very sorry for all of his family. Surprised to hear, that he lived so very close to two, of our three daughters. If only we knew that,.....would have loved to see him again. So many great memories! May all of your wonderful, happy memories comfort you always. Rest in peace dear, Danny.
