I would like to send my most sincere condolences to Donna, her son, and the entire Johnson family, in the demise of their loved one, James. During my high school days, I was their neighbor in Enfield, and I even had the opportunity to babysit their son. I would see "Jap" as I called him many times at home and on that UPS truck, throughout Halifax County while employed there. He was truly a man to be reckon with. I will forever remember the many fond memories of him. May the life he lived speak for him. A life well-lived, and a man of great character. Keeping each of you in prayer. Now rest from your labor, see you in the morning................
