| I wanted to share dad's obituary with you. Please feel free to pass along to those who knew him. We miss him greatly and will cherish our memories with a wonderful guy. I've also attached a fun photo of dad! Paul C. Johnson II passed away unexpectedly on April 17th in his Arizona home at the age of 67. Paul was a longtime resident of southwest Washington. He graduated from Fort Vancouver High School ('61) and Eastern Washington State University before entering a career in real estate. Many people also knew Paul as the friendly, hard working owner of the local Honda motorcycle dealership on Fourth Plain who was always available for assistance. Everywhere Paul went he touched the lives of countless individuals with his friendship, humor, and witty stories. Paul was preceded in death by his wife of 25 years, Jeanette "Jeanie" Johnson, and he missed her greatly. He was fortunate to find a dear friend and loving wife of ten years, Vicki Cartsens (Kalama). He is survived by twin daughters Julie Erickson (Hockinson) and Tracy Ostrem (Bellevue); son Paul Johnson III (Bainbridge Island) and step daughter-in-law Sam Hall; and six adoring grandchild. He was the oldest of four children born to Paul and the late Lucille Johnson: Barbie Brietag (Vancouver), Tammy Polo (Vancouver) Dan Johnson and sister-in-law Dianne (Battle Ground), and step mother, Marge Johnson (Vancouver). Over the years, he loved to vacation at the family cabin in Long Beach, raise and race greyhounds, and enjoyed time on the Hockinson farm. In retirement he enjoyed life on the Kalama River and the beauty of Arizona in a serene lifestyle that provided him the time to pursue his love of collecting" interesting objects and traveling to new places. However, there was no greater enjoyment for Paul than his relationships and conversations with his beloved friends and family. A memorial service will be held at Elim Lutheran Church, 15815 NE 182nd, Hockinson, WA on Friday, May 21st at 3:00 PM. A reception will follow at the fellowship hall. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to OHSU Foundation, 1121 SW Salmon Street, Ste. 100, Portland, OR 97205-2021 for the Diabetes Research Fund. |

For the new members who have not met Vicki , she is our Vice President. She just retired several months ago. Paul and Vicki were spending the winter months in AZ and planned on returning this month. Vicki is one of the most giving person I have ever known. Paul was one of the kindest human being I have ever met. As a couple they made the perfect pair.
