“It was a common sight on so many mornings, walking through the museum and seeing Johnson surrounded by a sea of rapt students. So many kids were lucky to have been able to learn from him, and it was so clear that they adored him. He clearly made a lasting impact on so many young lives. My deepest condolences to his family and all who loved him.”

“To Johnson’s family and loved ones, I am so sorry for your loss and offer my most sincere condolences. Johnson was an amazing friend, teacher buddy, and travel companion. We talked extensively about Marvel movies, teaching, travel, living abroad, favourite foods, Disney, everything under the sun. I cherished our long rides home from the ROM (he always knew a ride with me meant taking the loop) and meeting up in far off countries when we both lived in Europe. I will miss him dearly.”
