What's happening Tony this is your friend Renaldo Pearson Sr. It's been almost 40 years since the last time we talked you was more than a friend you was my brother. It took this long for me to forgive myself for not being able to say goodbye or for not being there for you. Even since the time of John Adams High School and you telling me that Tracy was pregnant and how much you loved her and how you was going to do right by your family I just want to tell you that I have always looked up to you as a strong black man and if your kid grew up to have 1 oz of what you had inside of you I know for definitely fact that you will be proud of him. And I'm sure Tracy don't remember me but I have been watching in the shadows from afar. I'm too a better grandfather then I was a father and I've been married for over 37 years to a great woman named Kathy. You always be my friend and closer than any brother I ever had so goodbye for now until I see you again.

Remembering you today Tony. You were always the one. The one to do the right thing, the one to make a difference, the one who loved his girlfriend in high school & later your wife only, the one to care. Oh how I wish you had been given more time so that more people could have known how very special you were. May we all live a life no matter how long or short that is a reflection of goodness, kindness and love. You did. God Bless.

To Officer Anthony Jerome Johnson and his loved ones:

On this the eighteenth anniversary of your tragic death, please know that your memory is honored and revered today. Rest in Peace, Anthony. I am praying for solace for your family members today, and each day that they are on the survivors' path.

I am glad that there was a just verdict for those who murdered you, but regret that the governor ignored the jury's decision when he commuted all death penalty sentences. Since he later became a convicted criminal, perhaps he was motivated by his own selfish actions as he appears to have cared nothing for victims.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the distinquished service Ken gave to his community and the citizens of California, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on October 21, 1991.

Officer Johnson, Thank you for your service to your country, you will be missed but never forgotten, as our Hero's live forever in our hearts.

I remember seeing Officer Johnson's wife on television comforting another Cleveland Officer's wife,whose husband had just been shot and killed. I liked her right away. She seems to be a very warm,caring person. Her husband was murdered at a very young and she was left to raise an infant child. I was so glad to hear her say that the department still is there for her and their child. Officer Johnson was taken much too soon. He was cheated of a long life,but I know he is proud of how his family chose to carry on his name. God Bless
