A Tribute To My Dear Friend

for Johnson Kell (June 29, 1919-May 11, 2017)

A Loving Son, A Model Citizen, And A Friend Thru Thick And Thin,
A Gentleman’s Gentleman, An Encourager To Stranger And To Kin,
An Elder, A Father, A Grandfather, A Brother, A Mentor, Too
Devoted Husband, Ideal Employee, A Christian Through And Through

Sportsman, Conversationalist, Good Humored And Engaging,
Gentle And Calm, Level-Headed, Not Hypocritical Or Enraging.
He Loved Life Fully, But Fully Lived His Life For The Christ He Loved,
While Here Below, Until The End, He Lived For Life Above

We Want To Honor This Gentle Man From Imboden, Arkansas,
Who Honored The Humble Carpenter Who Brought A Higher Law–
A Law Which Johnson Lived So Well For Almost A Century Of Time
Who Rests Forever Comforted With Him In His Home Sublime
