I'm a former employee of Bob Evans and I am so very sorry to hear the passing of Mr. Johnson. He was a very sweet man, always had a smile on his face and he spoke of his wife Margaret every chance he got. I know he's at peace and walking the streets of Gold with his Wife and our Heavenly Father.

I am so sorry for your loss Hearl was a wonderful person. I met him through my parents and then I would always see him walking in the mall when I worked there and always enjoyed seeing his smiling face. He will be missed by many.
