My condolences to the Johnson family. I did not know General Johnson, but I met him only once. After that one meeting, I have never forgotten him. He and my dad were in the military together. The night my dad (CSM Billy Haney) retired from the military, General Johnson sat at our table at the retirement dinner. We talked about our families, and his and my dad's career. He talked highly of my dad that night, and I knew then that they were great friends. He made such an impression on me, I have never forgotten him. Like General Johnson, my dad passed away Jan, 2009. Knowing that they were friends and military buddies, I know they are so glad to see each other in Heaven. I am so sorry for your loss. May God comfort your family during this difficult time.

Daria, you did a wonderful job euologizing your father. Nothing else that will be done later can surpass the homegoing celebration that you all gave your father in Birmingham. My regret is that so many of his friends, co-workers and frat brothers didn't get a chance to share in these final moments. God is not sleep. Everything you went through is definitely a testimony. Continue family to be strong in the Lord. I am glad that you all don't look like what you been through. To God be the Glory. Keeping you all in my prayers.

As a 1972-1976 SCSU cadet and, on behalf of many others who entered the military through the famed "Bulldog Battalion", I extend heartfelt sympathy to Gen Johnson's family and friends at this most difficult time.
Fred and I had a short but warm conversation while waiting on General Colin Powell to arrive for a SCSU ROTC program prior to the 2011 graduation ceremony.
Even though we had not seen each other for decades, we embraced in friendship, enjoyed our conversation and wished each other well.
Those of us who had the honor of being a cadet in the same program that guided Brig. Gen. Frederick J. Johnson will forever be proud and grateful that we met such a man.

My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family as you progress through the grief and sadness. BG Johnson was all about encouragement, his demeanor would make you nervous at first than he would make you at ease with one of his many jokes or life stories. Just remember life brings tears, smiles and memories. The tears will dry, the smile will fade, but the memories will always live on forever. Rest in Peace.

On more than one occasion, General Johnson told me, "Never be afraid to get your boots dirty." General Johnson was my first brigade commander as an officer. I appreciated his polite nature and his positive spirit and attitude. Rest in peace, sir, and my sincerest prayers to the family.

To My Pastor Reverend Rhella Murdaugh and the Johnson family, God is to wise to make a mistake and too just to do wrong; know that he relieved your father, brother and son from the suffering here on this earth and moved Brigadier General Johnson to the Royal Army of the Lord.

He received his promotion from earth to be with the Lord. He is not dead, the word tells us that those that die in the Lord sleeps.

The Crowell-Grate family is praying that God carries you through this tough time until you all meet him again.

With God's love and blessings, Elder Kat J. Crowell-Grate

To the Family, thank you for sharing such an eloquent man with us. I only learned of him during the tribute to Mr.Bryant. He was so excited about celebrating this man and he spoke so eloquently at his tribute and engaged the audience with memories and laughter. That was my experience with him and it will be a life long memory. I said my appreciation to him already, so... to the family, Thank you for such a great person.
