Walter
E. Johnson Jr. of Boise, ID went home to be with the Lord Jesus whom he trusted
for his Salvation, on the morning of December 13, 2013. He went
peacefully after breakfast.
A
memorial service will be held on Saturday, December 21, 2013 at 2 p.m. at Alden-Waggoner
Funeral Chapel on Fairview in Boise, ID. A reception will follow at that
location.
Walt
was preceded in death by his father Walt Sr. and mother Dawana. He leaves
behind his children, whom he dearly loves, Dianne Wojnicki of Burr Ridge, IL;
Duane of Meridian; Ryan of Eagle; and Brenda of Batavia, IL; his Sister
Lorraine (Sis) of Nampa; and all their families; including grandchildren,
Amanda, Michael, Jordan, Ryann, Hunter and Blaine; and many nieces and
nephews, including his Sister and her husband Jann's children,Teri, Wayne, and
Jann Jr. All of whom were often in his thoughts and deeds. He also leaves
behind many beloved cousins.
He
also leaves behind many friends and associates that he came to know through his
High School years, and his 50+ years as a plumber and owner operator of Johnson
Plumbing. Also many special friends, you'll know who you are. Each of you
will remember the essence and impact of that friendship.
Walt
was a Man's Man who went by the old adage "Big Boys Don't Cry." He
lived a "No Excuses" life, not complaining about his problems,
troubles, or health issues; Living Life - One Day at a Time.
For
those relatives and friends who are unable to attend the Memorial Service on
Saturday, December 21, 2013. We will be having a Family Memorial
Remembrance gathering in June, 2014 at Dry Creek Cemetery in Boise, the
afternoon following the Mink Reunion. Contact Sis for details on that.
Some
special Thanks are in order. Thanks to St. Luke’s Hospice (Wanda Jo,
Deanna, Leanne, Leah, Julie, and the whole SLH team). Also thanks to Dr.
Michael Hedemark at SLIM, and nurse Paula (he loved you), Dr. Norman Zuckerman

Station, Rite-Aid, and his Bank. God bless you all.
