I'm going miss my uncle very much he was my second father I love you Uncle Eddie ❤️ It's not going be same without you here Rest In Peace.
To the Johnson Family. Your Father and Brother Eddie will be deeply missed. He was the epitome of a Good Neighbor. We all grew up in "The Quarters" together, we moved to different neighborhoods, but our families were very much alike. Our families moved but never left "The Quarters".... The Johnsons were always visiting their Mama, sitting on the front porch and our family would meet at Mama's house almost every day and especially Sundays. Eddie truly "Loved Thy Neighbor". Our family will be forever grateful for the Love he showed for Mr. Ben and Mrs. Florida before they too were called home to be with The Lord. Eddie L. Johnson rest in peace. I know there are Loved ones waiting to see you. Walk Around Heaven All Day. Bennie Mae Washington Clary and Family from "The Quarters"
I was deeply saddened to hear about your death Eddie . You will be greatly missed by the whole neighborhood. The Johnsons have been a neighborhood staple for generations. We felt a little safer with you setting on the porch watching over the neighborhood. Always with a smile and a friendly wave. My prayers go out to your family. Rest in Peace Mr. Eddie L. Johnson
