Leroy Junior Johnson, son of the late Edith and George

Johnson, was born on November 14, 1947. He was

called home to be with our Lord on May 9, 2019, at the

Brinton Woods Post-Acute Care Center, just months after

being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. He was educated

in the Baltimore city Public School System. He began

working at an early age for Barr Stafford factory. Leroy

frequented a Baptist church located on Monument Street

in East Baltimore.

In 1978 Leroy was medically declared legally blind and

was found to be totally death in right ear and partially

death in the left ear. He was later diagnosed with

Schezophrenia and Kidney Failure. His caregivers were

Aliceteen Wax, William Asbell and Cynthia House.

Leroy knew he was among family and lived a happy life.

Leroy loved his family but also enjoyed his alone time.

There was certainly nothing wrong with his memory. His

favorite radio station was 95.9, where he would sing the

oldies but goodies out loud. And he didn't just stop there

he also sing acapella too. Leroy loved to watch or listen

to TV mostly sitcoms. He loved to eat homemade soul

food, namely fried chicken leg quarters. One of Leroy

favorite persons was his nephew Algernon Wax. He

would often ask "Where Algernon". Although we will miss

Leroy his suffering is over and may his soul rest in peace.

He was preceded in death by two brothers, Jack Wise

and George Johnson Jr., two Sisters Margaret Johnson

and Aliceteen Wax and leaves to mourn his sister,

Christeen King; nieces and nephews, and a host of other

relatives and friends
