| The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ February 20, 2008, p. A8 Walter Johnson On Monday, Feb. 11, I lost my wonderful Walter. He was 93. He had many problems along the way, but his strong heart refused to falter. There were three things he said he missed the most: First, his music; and museum hours were always good. The third was golfing with his many friends whenever they possibly could. He wanted so badly just to finally sleep and, at last, his wish came through. I had him for more than 66 years. He’ll always be near, whatever I do. Celebration of his life will be Friday (Feb. 22) at 1 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Wickenburg. In lieu of flowers, if you wish to give, the museum is our choice No. 1. Walter was born Aug. 12, 1914 in Milwaukee, Wis. He spent several years growing up in the country, developing his love of animals and farming. Survivors - besides myself, his wife Bonnie - include a son, Dr. Ronald of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; a daughter, Joanna, and her husband Steve Cottrell of Springfield, Ill.; five grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. A daughter, Wendy, preceded him in 1997. David’s Desert Chapel Funeral Home in Wickenburg handled the arrangements. |
