In Colorado Springs he owned All-State Horse Express for many years and most recently was owner of Southern Cross Coin Laundry where he enjoyed working with his staff and customers who will remember his smile and support.A long-time member of the Christian Science Church, he leaves behind his wife and daughter, Virginia and Blaine Johnson and his two sisters and their husbands; Cindy (Jack) Pannier, and Sarah (Jim) DeWitt.A private family service will be held, but he suggested that those who wish a remembrance set aside a time this week to quietly pray in their own way for our nation, our communities and our families.Donations may be made to First Church of Christ, Scientist; 325 N.
