A great human being who touched more lives than he ever knew. May his family find that special peace during this time of loss that only God can give.

Working for the Johnson's under the leadership of Robbie Johnson has been an amazing opportunity. Without him, I know something will always be missing. But he gave us an amazing gift - the courage, knowledge and motivation to keep going and doing what the J&J family does best - Prosper.
The Johnson family suffered an inconceivable loss. May you be comforted knowing you are in all of our hearts.

First off, to Blair and the boys, my heart breaks for you. I am so sorry that you have lost the best friend and Dad there could be. Robbie was and still is special. He was a gentle giant with a smile and laugh that would light up a room. My years at J & J were made that much more special because of who he was not only as a leader but as a man and a friend. Whenever we saw each other in the street, we never hesitated to hug and "catch up". I often joked with him and called him Dad.

To Fran & Harry, the lost for you may seem great now, but in time you will find peace in knowing that Robbie is there with you always. He lives in both of you and the memories will carry you through.

To his parents: Take comfort in knowing that God doesn't make any mistakes and Robbie had a greater job to do and so it was time for him to go home.

To the employees of Johnson & Johnson, you all have lost a wonderful leader, a wonderful friend and a great man. Live each day with the memories of him and listen for his laughter in the halls.

We hope that our prayers and thoughts will be of comfort to you at this difficult time. Our love, Nancy & Jim Wilkinson

Blair, Francis, Harry and the Johnson Family: Words cannot begin to express the sadness I feel in Robbie's passing. He meant so much to so many. As a teenager right out of high school who had just moved to South Carolina from West Virginia with my family, Robbie believed in me and gave me me the opportunity to work for Johnson & Johnson. He had a heart of gold. I am privileged to have known him and to have worked for him. He touched the lives of many and will not be forgotten. My heart goes out to you all.

To Blair, Francis, Harry & the entire Johnson Family - How does someone express something, remotely adequate, at this time of great grief? Saying that we express our sympathies, somehow seems inadequate, but there is is not anything more that expresses our feelings. Robbie lived his life by the principles that we all learned in Sunday School, both professionally and personally. Those of us that knew him professionally are better for it. From a family of 4 generations of insurance wholesalers to the family of one of America's oldest and most respected insurance wholesalers goes our condolences.Best Regards, The Miller Family ( Jack & Steve, David & Michael) W.A.Schickedanz Agency, Inc.

Blair and family - our hearts ache for each of you in different ways right now and words of sympathy seem inadequate. We are prayerful that what must be overwhelming sadness will soon be replaced by memories bringing smiles and peace.

Dear Francis, Harry and the entire Johnson Family,

I can't begin to express how saddened I am that Robbie is no longer with us. I'm sorry I can't be with you to celebrate his life. While most of my dealings with Robbie were on a business level, we (the Johnson boys and I) always seemed to have some fun when we got together - I was always made to feel I had been adopted by the guys. I'll always remember Robbie's easy manor, engaging grin, desire to share a story and the happiness he brought to me and others -I'm proud to have known him, will miss seeing him and will treasure his memory. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My heart breaks for you and your entire family. Words can never express how much Robbie meant to me. I was just a baby out of high school when I began working at J&J. I worked there for over 15 years...and Robbie was right there with me as I matured into an adult. His constant encouragement helped me during some of the most difficult times in my life. Robbie was a very wise man with a heart the size of Texas. I have many special memories that I will cherish forever. It was an honor to have known him. I only wish I would have told him just how much of an impact he had on my life! He would be shocked to know that I drove eight hours just to attend his services today. I will never forgot him! My love to all of you!

Dear Blair, Rob, James and the entire Johnson Family: Robbie is in heaven watching over you, just as he did when he was here with you. You shared love, the most beautiful gift of all. His love for you transcends his death, as your love does for him. In going forward, live well, love deeply and praise everyday of your lives, so that Robbie's kindness, gentleness and deep devotion to his family and friends will be reflected in all that you do. Robbie, those he loved and those who love him deserve nothing less. God Bless You and keep you safe and sound and warm and happy and healthy in His love, and Robbie's.

Dear Blair, Rob and James, Scottie & Robert, Francis & Dicksie, and Harry & Caroline,

My sincerest and deepest sympathy in the passing of Robbie. Robbie and your family are so dear to me. We certainly spent some wonderful times together over the years. Robbie was always so endearing and the quiet life of many parties and good times.

One of my dearest memories is enjoying Valentines Day dinner at Scottie & Robert's home with all the brothers, wives and children enjoying life together. Robbie was very special and will be missed. I am privileged to have known him.

Fondly with love to you all, Donna

I worked at Johnson & Johnson Inc. for 20 years. I was there when Robbie came to work, fresh out of college. Then Robbie started installing computers in the accounting department. I had never worked on a computer before and Robbie was my teacher. I could not have asked for a more patient teacher. In my years there, I never heard Robbie raise his voice to any one, no matter what the problem was. He was a fine young man and it was my pleasure to have known him and to have worked with him.
