Mr. Johnson, you will be missed tremendously. You always had a huge smile and a joyous laugh. I found a poem I wanted to dedicate to you. "Letting Go" God saw you getting tired. When a cure was not to be, He closed his arms around you and whispered, "Come to Me". In tears we saw you sinking. We watched you fade away.... See More Our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully free from pain, We could not wish you back to suffer so again. So keep your arms around him Lord, and give him special care. Make up for all he suffered and all that seemed unfair. You and your family will be in our prayers. May God bless and keep you safe. Sincerely, Sandra, Billy, Cody, Travis, Zachary, & Josiah (Johnson) Short

I will never forget Bill. Carrying one of the biggest hearts in his chest, he helped many people and enjoyed doing so. He always made me smile when I worked with him at the Goodwill. May his family and friends hold on to all the great memories of him so that he lives on within our hearts. He will be missed. Jenn Brown

Bill was a fine human being and family man. We will miss his humor and company greatly. Take heart from the knowledge that he now resides in a far better place.
