<DIV><FONT face=Arial>This service was held last Saturday at Historic Oakland in
Columbia. The room was packed by 11:05 and at least 30 people had to stand
in the back of the room and another 20 or so outside the door to the room.
It was a very Christian service with a number of readings from the Bible and
several prayers. I did not get to meet the priest/minister who
presided. After those procedings, different people were invited to share
thoughts about Arjay. These included his brother William, several nieces,
and several friends, including myself. One gentleman from
Phoenix shared some very amusing and insightful descriptions of things
Arjay did during his workday - including taking naps at lunch. I hope this
gentleman will share his comments with Dawna so she can incorporate them into
her upcoming article. A few people from CV attended:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Tweefie Millspaugh, Didon Pachner, Arjay's friend and
neighbor Roger, Bob Finn, Valerie Griffin, and perhaps others I did not
recognize. I was really impressed with the total number of people who
attended.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hello Charles Village community members. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm forwarding this info to you at the suggestion of Brad Schlegel.
Please accept my apology if this is unwanted/unsolicited, I'm trying to cover
as many bases as possible and I'm not familiar with how your
message/discussion/chat board works. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And, one of Arjay's other nieces, Elizabeth Johnson, is working on a
memory book for his daughter Anne. If anyone would like to
contribute thoughts etc. just forward them to me.
(Thanks) </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Following is the message that I posted on the board with a couple
revisions/deletions.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let me know if you or others have questions.</DIV>
<DIV>M-F contact me through work E-mail as follows:</DIV>
<DIV><A>wwingate@mragta.com</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you for your time.</DIV>
<DIV>Willow </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dear Friends of Arjay/Richard Johnson,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Richard Temple Johnson aka "<SPAN class=EC_yshortcuts
id=EC_lw_1232834017_0>Arjay</SPAN>" was my uncle (my mother's
brother-in-law.)</DIV>
<DIV>He was very dear to me and like a father. He would often refer to himself
as "Tio Ricardo" (in his best latino accent.) </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We're all very sad and are still in shock and disbelief that he's
suddenly gone from our lives (physically, as he'll always be with us in
spirit.) I feel especially sorry for his daughter Anne Johnson, a young woman
of only 21 years. She's doing okay but will need a lot of love and
support.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Uncle Rick's brother, Bill, (<SPAN class=EC_yshortcuts
id=EC_lw_1232834017_1>Dr. William R. Johnson</SPAN> of Columbia/Ellicott City,
MD) found Arjay and this has been very hard on him. They were very
close. Arjay is also survived by his parents, <SPAN class=EC_yshortcuts
id=EC_lw_1232834017_2>Mr. & Mrs. William R. Johnson</SPAN>, Sr, of
Ellicott City (they're in their 90's,) his daughter Anne and ex-wife, Rebecca
Johnson, of Guilford, and my other aunt, Louise Morgan of <SPAN
class=EC_yshortcuts id=EC_lw_1232834017_3>Towson</SPAN>.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Uncle Rick was a Mechanical Engineer with Phoenix International in <SPAN
class=EC_yshortcuts id=EC_lw_1232834017_4>Largo, Maryland</SPAN>. He was only
67 years old. Apparently he was very sick with what we think was the flu. He
was last seen by his friend Roger on Sunday December 28th. Bill discoverd him
on Wednesday December 31st. We've been told by the medical examiner that he
died of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. He was cremated on Friday January
2nd. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I want to thank those of you who inquired about his memorial service.
Initially the service was to be on Saturday, January 24th due to existing
weekend travel plans that Bill had for the subsequent weekends following Uncle
Rick's death.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I received an E-mail from Brad Schlegel regarding the service <SPAN
class=EC_yshortcuts id=EC_lw_1232834017_5>on Saturday January 31st</SPAN>.

Spurrier for the photo of Uncle Rick with his conga drum. There are so many
things that I'd like to write but I don't know any of you and am not comfy
with going into all of my thoughts. Suffice it to say that I loved my uncle
and I'll miss him so much. He was a kind soul deep down despite his occasional
"grumpy old man" routine (and that's meant in a light-hearted
way.)<BR> <BR>Regards,<BR>Willow
