Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Friday August 13, 2004

Dale Foster Johnson. A resident of Albuquerque for 42 years. Born May 16, 1931 in Aspen, CO, died August 9, 2004 in Albuquerque, NM. Preceded in death by father, Carl Johnson and mother, Eunice Johnson. Survived by beloved wife of 50 years, Shiori Johnson; sons, Gary Johnson of Apple Valley, MN, Roy Johnson of Lafayette, CO, Zack Johnson of Salt Lake City, UT; sisters, Carletta McLain of Eaton, CO, Irene Conner of Aspen, CO; brother, Harold Johnson of Wyoming; and grandchildren, Dale Johnson, Logan Johnson, Theresa Johnson, Anna Johnson, and Helena Johnson. Dale was a good husband and best friend to his wife; he enjoyed dancing with her every chance he could. He was a great father and sensei to his boys and was loved by everyone he touched. Though there may have been greater men, there has never been a greater father. He was an animal lover and had a special relationship with his dog, Niji. Being a lifelong student of knowledge and wisdom as well as a self taught philosopher, he left this world as he lived in it - as a true gentleman. In keeping with his philosophy and wishes, in lieu of flowers, please spend more time with your family and loved ones.
