I pass the sign near the corner of Tremont and Boylston every day, and think of this man I never met.
Really wonderful to see the reflections left here by colleagues and family.

Tonight I found myself on Tremont Street, waiting to cross the street. I looked up and happened to notice the sign with Officer Johnson's name and the date of March 17, 1969 on it. I was curious to see what I could learn about him, and I found this page. Sounds like a true hero. How fortunate we are to have men and women who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to keep the rest of us safe.

It's now 49 years. You are still honored here and you are still missed and loved by those who loved you best. The pain can never go away, but holding you in their hearts keeps you near. LOVE, never dies.

God Bless you Officer Johnson as you continue to Rest in Peace.
