Barry Lee Johnson, son of Amos and Shirley Johnson, died at the age of 57 at his home in Silver Bay, Minnesota.
His growing up years were spent in Red Wing, Frontenac and Hastings (all in Minnesota). He served in the Army and the Air Force in the Vietnam War.
He attended college at Winona State. He started a business of his own in Security and Irrigation. Barry was a gentle, kind, intelligent person who loved gadgets, electronics, plants, classical music, poetry and the stars. He was the father of two children, Nolan and Abby.
I'm a Christian, and I'm a daughter of Allan B. Holbrook, now in heaven. My married name is Debby Stevens. My parents, Allan and Marie, were devout Christians, and had 10 children. They were both school teachers, but Mom quit teaching at public school after marriage. But both Mom and Dad home-schooled us all - starting when I was in 1st grade - that's when they came to the decision to home-school us.
Dad earned an income through being an English teacher here in Traverse City, for man years.
Dad started some Bible meetings that took place in the homes of friends of ours and in our own. He was the main teacher in it, and it was in a discoursing style - he would talk about spiritual things with the fathers of the families, each time, and all the children of the families would sit and listen to it all.
