Edwin Johnson, 94, died Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2005, at the home of his daughter in Troy, where he spent the last 3 1/2 years.
A memorial service will be held at the College Place (Wash.) Village Seventh-day Adventist Church, where he was a member for 40 years. Pastor Dennis Nickel of Moscow will be officiating.

He was known for his beautiful prayers, harmonica playing and sharing of garden vegetables. For a number of years he sang in a German chorus.
Favorite saying: "I pass this way only once, do all the good I can, don't delay for I shall never pass here again."
He is survived by his four children; two sisters; seven grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Ella; his parents; four brothers; and two sisters.
