I worked for Mr. Johnson 30 years ago when I had barely any experience doing furniture upholstery and liked and admired him. We shared lots of time swapping stories and laughing, working or delivering.
What made the biggest impression though was Christmas week only a month after I started. I missed Monday and Tuesday while my wife was going through a miscarriage, and because Wednesday was Christmas Eve I only got to put in 4 hours for the entire workweek. When he handed out paychecks I laughingly quipped " well THIS will be a big check - ha ha" making fun of the only 4 hours pay I had earned, but when I got home he had generously paid me a full week's wages...and I had only been there one month. That kind gesture is something I still remember ( usually around Christmas) all these years later.
And I remember Derrill one day telling us a long story about the sales rep from LaFrance Fabrics had called him, detailing how years ago that guy had fronted Johnson Upholstery lots of fabric on credit when they were still a small company....and Derrill asked us at the end of his long story "...and you know what he wanted?" I quipped the obvious "....yea....he wanted his money...." and I saw Derrill laugh harder than I had seen him laugh any time before. I don't know why it struck him so funny but I was so pleased to make him laugh that hard. ( I do not remember the real reason that guy had contacted Derrill). :-)
I am very sorry to hear of his passing, and sorry for the loss all family members will experience. He was a wonderful man and entertaining man who probably has impacted many lives in small ways we will never know about.

My deepest condolences to my family as we mourn the loss
of dear Derrill Johnson. To me an Uncle who was always sweet and kind and sure to share a joke or story with. His legacy lives on through Danny who shares his sweet smile and art of telling a good joke or comic message. Tara and Jess his sweet granddaughters who have raised more sweet children who also enjoy telling a joke. This is his legacy of wonderful giving, sharing family and friends who’s stories will live on through eternity.
His life was rich with love and devotion shared by my beautiful Aunt June.
I’m so fortunate to have such fond memories, and look forward to
Sharing life’s journey with each of you.

Mrs. Johnson, Dan and family,
we were saddened to learn of Mr. Johnson's passing, and want to offer our heartfelt condolences. He was an interesting man, and had lived an interesting life.. We are grateful for his service in the Navy, and honor him as a veteran. The family business he worked for is something all of you can be proud of as you share his memory. To the extent possible, we share in your loss.
Walt, Madeline and Doug Smyth
