Do you know this to be true? I got a phone call that said he was still unstable and that they were not certain it was a heart attack.

[Correction]

WCRK reported this morning that he is still in CCU in critical condition.

My information came from a city employee, so I would rather be wrong and my prayers going out to Mr. Johnson that he recovers.

[Get Out]

I hope he recovers too, but his Mom better get him to Knoxville or somewhere else if she wants him to live.

[Concerned]

Sounds like he's in bad shape. I'd want to be in Knoxville too.

[For Heavens Sake]

Prayers to the family and friends of this fine man.

The online prayer request page for First Baptist Church says he is in critical condition and on a respirator.

Not related to Charles Johnson. Father was Randall Johnson, a local businessman. Uncle was Wray Johnson, Morristown home builder.
