Dear Johnsons,
We send sympathy and love to the Johnsons, all good friends through the years. We first met Don when we were new to Grand Haven, having chosen this city for Bill's practice sister. Marg Johnson Baribeau, steered us here in 1946. My (Mary's) mother, Nora Rawlinson, was in the hospital in Ann Arbor waiting for detached retina surgery which in those days required her to lie perfectly still for 10 days prior to surgery. Don, bless his heart, took time to go visit her. Such a kind act on the part of a busy college student (Univerity of Michigan) was wonderful and we were grateful. Don was a kind person then and always, as he lovingly cared for Sarah for some years. We miss him and Sarah so very much.
Love and hugs,
Bill and Mary Creason

Dear Johnson family,
So sorry to hear about your dad. I have a lot of good memories of your mom and dad at my parents' house for the famous "cocktail parties." The SL Country Club was also a big part of all of our lives...good memories. It's so sad that the Fruitport road gang is getting smaller and smaller these days. I hope the good memories of your parents help you through the sad times. With love, Carrie Bowen Kendro

Johnson Family
My sister Pam and I want to express our condolences on the passing of Donald.
We were the “little kids” from next door hanging around the cottage, usually in the way. Don captured the attention of my first crush (as a 10 year old) and married Sarah. She and her sister were in my sailing class with Doris. I was never late for class until Don’s interest in Sarah became known to me. The Johnson family will always be major councilors and friends.
Sincerely,
Pamela (Broman) Fair
