Corey, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We are sorry for your loss but realize just how blessed you have been to have had such a wonderful father and to have had him with you for so many years. From all that you have told us about him over the past few years he was obviously a very special person.##imported-begin##Nathan and Shelley Fox##imported-end##
Like Skip and David, I have known Corey more than 25 years through our involvement in Thoroughbred racing and I can attest to the strong values which Mr. Johnsen instilled in his children. That said, I was not aware he also had 10 Holes in One. Wow ! Corey and Julie, your Dad always will be with you as you carry on the values which he inspired. That insight was given me by a friend after my father passed a couple years ago and I have found it comforting. Amanda and I wish you and your families peace.##imported-begin##ben cambra##imported-end##

Corey, Julie and families: Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. Your father, grandfather and great grandfather surely lived a long and wonderful life that you will celebrate with many fond memories. He leaves this mortal world with an incredible legacy--you. I am certain his pride in his children and their families was only surpassed by his love for all of you. Peace and love, Skip & Ruby.##imported-begin##Skip Lannert##imported-end##
I only met Mr. Johnsen once, but I've known his son Corey for over 25 years. We both have been in the horse racing business, where great horses are judged by the quality of their progeny, or offspring. Knowing Corey as I do, Jim was surely a great man, because Corey is admired and respected by many people. Corey spoke of his dad affectionately and frequently. He was proud of his dad, and after reading his obituary I can see why. My son's Matt and Troy and my wife, Yenni, send our sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family. We also plan to contribute to the scholarship fund in his name.##imported-begin##David M. Vance##imported-end##
