I first met Bob back in 1984 when I worked for Doris Carpenter. Bob was over the Trust Dept. at the United Bank and we did a lot of tax work for the dept.  I was also a member at 1st Congregational when I lived in Greeley (1984-1988).  Bob's friendly nature and financial guidance has been a blessing for me, as I entrusted his investment advice for many of my Mom's investments for over 20 years.  He was truly a gentleman and a great role model for many.  I will miss talking to him.  May God bless and comfort you.

I believe that I speak for the many mathematics majors who had the privilege of being in Dr. Johnson's math classes.  He was awesome in his clarity and attention to detail.  Nothing was left out of reach, however we understood that it was a joint effort to grasp the concepts.  I modeled my teaching style from Dr. Johnson, which served me well for my 37 year career.  Thank you Dr. Johnson

Our condolences to Sallie, Jeff, Nancy and family on the loss of Bob.  While I was not close to him, or to all of you, I always enjoyed hearing what was going on with him and his upbeat attitude and spunk.  He will surely be missed and we wish you all peace as you recall memories.  With love.

Special condolences to Bob's family. We will miss you zest for life.
Some people come into our lives, leave footprints...on our hearts, and we are never the same.  Thank you, Bob for your footprints on our lives!

Bob was one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable.  I have never known anyone else like him and never will.  Please take comfort in knowing that he truly touched the heart of everyone who knew him.  It was such a privilege and honor to have shared music with him.  He will be sorely missed.  Sue and I send you our most profound sympathy.

My wife Pam & I send our deepest sympathies to Sallie, family and friends everywhere. I am proud and honored to have known Bob thru Kream of the Krop and UBS. I will miss every aspect of Bob and his tremendous respect for people and things. I truly miss sitting behind Bob at gigs as we would share glances after both he and I would play in unison the same musical phrase.

Until we meet again my friend,

Dear Sallie and Family:
Reva and I will be out of town next week and cannot attend the memorial service.  She will write you separately, but I want to tell you directly how saddened I am at Bob's premature departure.  He was such a wonderful colleague at UNC and then an unsurpassed financial counselor when he joined PaineWebber.  It was always a real pleasure to talk with him and he gave wonderful advice.  But it was Bob, the friend and gentleman, who made such an impact upon Greeley and upon so many lives.  He dunned me more than once for money for an important cause; his requests were easy to respond to, for I knew that he was just asking me to do what he was already doing.  His support for the arts was a model.  I can think of hundreds of examples of his community leadership - MC at UNC events, Kreme of the Krop, and on and on.  Besides, he played a mean hand of poker!  I feel I have lost not only a professional colleague, a true exemplar, a wise citizen but a real friend.  My thoughts and heart go out to you and the family at this time.

One year ago today, your sweet spirit transcended earth but we still feel your presence and miss you more than ever. You were the best father, husband, brother, mentor, pastor, friend, grandfather, gardener and kind soul. May you rest in peace. I love you, Dad.

Thinking of you and Mom today, Dad. September 10 is your 56th wedding anniversary. We all miss you more than you can imagine, but feel your loving spirit and kindness in the quiet moments of each day. I love you.

Dear Esther and Family,
It was sad news to hear of Pastor Bob's passing.  I have such fond memories of him from the youth groups and all of the fun activities that took place for all of us kids growing up in Grace Lutheran Church.  The world is a better place for having him in it.  He's now moved onto bigger and better things.

Dear Esther and family,
So saddened to hear of Bob's passing.  He remains in my heart and memories as the young pastor who always made time for all of us children growing up at Grace Lutheran, teaching us many songs and being a true minister of God's love and grace.  He is in the arms of his Beautiful Savior. May your hearts be at peace.

Deborah and family,
Pastor Johnson was the single most infulential person in my life, other than my parents.  He taught me so much about God's love and teachings.  I am so sorry for your loss but pray that God gives you strength during this difficult transition.  
Love to you all!

Dear Esther and family,  Marlys and I were both shocked and saddened to hear of Pastor Bob's death. I have not been able to think about Bob for very long before tears begin to well up and flow.  His ministry shaped my life in so many ways.  Pastor Bob was a faithful servant of Christ in both word and deed.  We are among the grateful recipients of the ministry that God accomplished through Bob.  He was the most significant pastor in my life.  Our sincere sympathy to all of you.  May  the peace of God in Christ be yours in this time of loss and sorrow.
Marino and Marlys Melsted

Dear Debbie and family,
My condolences and prayers of comfort to you. Many are with you all in spirit as you acknowledge and give thanks for a life well lived and a true and welcome homecoming to our Heavenly Father.  Blessings to you all as you navigate this transition as a family.

Bob was such a gentle understanding man.  He was full of fun and laughter, easy to be around.  We are sorry for your loss but we know that he is with the Father waiting to welcome the rest of us when it is our time to go.

Deborah, Esther and Family,
Thank you for letting me know.  This Father/Husband/Pastor was one of the most loving, kind, gentle men I have ever known.   We are Blessed and Grateful for his touching so many lives very deeply. I send heartfelt prayers to all of you....Safe Journey Home ...........
Love Always,  Marla

Dear Esther and Family,
Please accept our deepest sympathies on your loss.  We will never forget Pastor Bob and how he touched our lives.  My your spirits be lifted knowing that he is at home with the Lord.

Pastor Johnson was a great teacher. Whether from the pulpit or in confirmation class he taught me how to have a personal relationship with God and how to live a meaningful life. From his actions, I learned not only leadership, but also how a powerful handshake can remind you of God?'s presence, how a smile and can touch your heart with His love.
For nearly two decades now, I have seen the influence of Pastor Johnson in my own church work, in my understanding of how a worship service should be conducted and perhaps most importantly, in how a sermon should be crafted and delivered. If, indeed, ?""teaching is touching infinity,?"" may Esther and the family always know the extraordinarily positive legacy of Bob Johnson.

Dear Esther and family-
Know that our love and condolences are with you and your family. Pastor Bob was a gracious man we had the priviledge of knowing as interim pastor at St. Paul's, as well as through our relationship with Kari and Doug. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Esther,  
We surround you with our prayers and our love and join with you from a distance as you celebrate Bob's life and the certainty of life forever with our Lord.  Special greetings to Deborah.

Esther and Family:
Joan and I would like to express our condolences to all of you on Paster Bob's passing.  He was a special person to both of us over the years.  I served on the Trinity Church Council with Paster Bob just prior to our building the santuary additions to Trinity.  During that period I was also involved with the ""pre-building"" committee and served as chairman of the building committee.  I was fortunate to be able to work closely with him during that period. I very much enjoyed that experience.  Pastor Bob was the most gracious person I ever met and lived his life as and example of how one should live life within their faith.  We were so appreciative of him agreeing to perform our wedding 6+years ago.  It was a little difficult for him to do so at that point in his life, but he so graciously agreed to do it and it meant so much to both of us.
May God bless and comfort you during this difficult period.

I would love to echo the heartfelt sentiments shared by Pilar and Geoff.  The years that I spent at Trinity were invaluable to my personal development, and Pastor Johnson was a big part of that.

Deborah and Family,
 May God give you the strength needed during this difficult time. My prayers are with you and your family.  Love,   Elena

We thank God for Pastor Bob and all he meant to us, as I came to Ridgecrest as a new bride and for John who came just a few years before.  Our prayers are with you, Esther, and all your loving family.  
May your wonderful memories of Bob comfort you during this sad time.  Our prayers are with all of you in the days ahead and may God's peace and strength lift you, as you celebrate his life.  
God's Blessings and our love to you.

Dear Deborah and Family ...
The Captain sent me the news of your dad's going home to his Heavenly Father and I just wanted to pass on my thoughts and prayers for your comfort in this tender time.  May you feel embraced by God's presence in the most inexplicable ways.  Somehow I know a song will fill your vulnerable hearts.
Much love,
Kerry Meads

I will never forget our confirmation and youth group experiences; Pastor Bob was appreciated and admired.

Dear Esther and family,
	Over the years we have felt Bob??Ts gentle and loving kindness, especially during trying times in our two lives.  It was special to share his interest in gardening with him.  I will always remember how much fun we had picking out plants in Star Valley for him to take home.  
	I feel so sad, Esther, for you and the family today.  Please call me when you can.   
	With affection, Margie & Hal

We will always treasure the love and spiritual guidance we received from Pastor Bob at Grace Lutheran and in our daily lives.  Heaven is better today with his kind and gentle spirit.

Deborah Liv and family,
My love and condolences to you as you grieve your dad's death and dying.  
I pray that you find comfort and joy in each other's company as you remember and share in family stories and prepare for the funeral that, I imagine, will be a lovely celebration of your dad's - and your family's - vibrant life and living. 
My thoughts and prayers are with you Debbie.  
Always,  Carol

Dear friends,
     All of you, along with Bob really left your mark on Ridgecrest.  Know that your entire family has left a good share of our town with great and thankful memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.    Love,  Darlene

Mark, Connie & Family - thinking about you all at this time and keeping you in our prayers.  Will see you when you return home. 
Melis and Paul

Dear Esther and family,
It was with a great sense of loss we heard the news.  Bob Johnson was one of the best pastors Grace Lutheran ever had.  We're sure that all of his former flock will be in mourning because he tended his sheep with care.  He had a very loving, kind wife and children at his side.  The family set a great example for our little town.
God bless you,
Ellen and Jim

Love and prayers to Esther and family, I will always remember Pastor for his guidance and love as he led my journey to be closer to our LOrd.

Pastor Johnson was a blessing to the Randle family for all his years in Ridgecrest and after.  He is not gone because he lives within our hearts. We will meet again just as God has promised. Our prayers and love to Esther and family.

We are two of the people that Bob  made our lives better.
He and his family will always be remembered as loving careing people. Thanks to each of you.

We remember Pastor Johnson (and the entire Johnson family) as a special gift to the congregation of Grace Lutheran--and to the whole community of Ridgecrest.  We send our warmest thoughts and prayers to you all.  With love,
Bob & Carolyn Roseth

I remember Pastor Bob's gentle guiding influence at Trinity.  Our youth group is still the closest group of friends I have on the planet.  Sky Ranch summer camp was made more fun and more nurturing with Bob's presence.  We were so lucky to have Pastor Bob and Pastor John throughout our formative years.  I hope Bob continues his loving work in his next adventure!!

a kind gentle intellect who always saw the best in each of us. Bob, have a good flight and a sailors blessing to you ""may you have a fair wind and a following sea
