Mrs. Johnson, Steve, Lynn and Tim,
Please accept my condolences on your loss of your husband and father, "Mr Johnson". All of the folks from Pinebrook have always been dear to my heart. I hold many fond memories of the time I spent growing up in that great neighborhood with all the great neighbors like the Johnsons. I believe the experiences and lessons learned in Pinebrook helped many of the kids we grew up with to become successful adults. "Lefty" was a big part of that nad I'm sure he will be sorely missed by all who knew him. I will celebrate his life as I'm sure you will as well.
Love, Chuck (Chuckie) Hunter

I was saddened to hear of Lefty's death. I remember all the great family outings we had together in Newburgh and Cape Cod. I loved his sense of humor. When Margaret and I were about 5, he tried to persuade us that sucking our thumbs would have dire consequences. He showed us his thumb .. worked for me. I will pray for him as he enters God's kingdom. With heartfelt sympathy and love, Maureen
