Seems.....a lot of folks are passing away lately....
We first met Mr Johnson....."Ernie, Sr.".......back in the 70's.
The days of Milo Hamilton......Ted Turner......And the future voice of the Georgia Bulldogs...one....Larry Munson.
Remember that?
Ernie, Sr.......was the ultimate professional....Much like his son today...Ernie Johnson, Jr.
Ernie, Sr......has passed.....He will be missed. Our prays ........as always....are with .....his family.
