Oh RJ,

You big bundle of joy! Just had somewhere else to be eh?! Damn, we’re going to miss you forever. There was nothing better than feeling your warm hugs and bright smile touch our little family restaurant. We will especially miss you’re Christmas visit, (not just for the buttertarts lol) but just to see you.

Our deepest condolences go out to Anne and the girls, and the whole

Johnson Family.

We love you guys and send our biggest hugs.

RJ Forever!

love,

We are heartbroken to think Richard is no longer here to share his laughter, stories and love. I count myself blessed to have known him and been his friend, and will forever treasure all my memories of bike trips with him, time spent with Ann, Tosha and the girls at their home or ours, and of course, Richard teaching me how to fully appreciate good scotch. He will be missed by so many. Our hearts go out to you, Ann, as well as the entire family.

Our sincere condolences Ma’m Ann and to your family. May Richard rest in peace.

RJ was a dear friend to us, he was beyond generous and kind always! He made us one of the family as soon as we met him through our dear friend Dan McMuldrock, He loved to laugh, adored his sweetheart Anne, and loved to make all others around him happy. Proud family man and was instantly loved by all who met him. He even had us over for a Christmas holiday a few years ago and it was such a lovely time with him & Anne and the whole family. Our Calgary clan of friends will never forget our infamous long lunches at Il Chianti, filled with jokes, laughter and warm genuine place of acceptance and encouragement. Our hearts are with you and all of your family Anne and we are so very sorry. Please let us know if we can do anything for you, even from afar. Love, light and rest in peace dear RJ, thank you for being one of the nicest friends we’ve ever had.
