On behalf of the Caribbean Festival & Cultural Organization of PA, please accept our sincere Condolences to the family of the late Ambassador, the Honorable Anthony Johnson. His presence here on earth was certainly not in vain. He was a very personable man and made everyone felt welcomed in his presence when he visited Philadelphia to perform several services, including at the annual Penn Relays. We certainly looked forward to his visit at Team Jamaica Bickle’s Forums and at TJB’s tent. May perpetual light shine on him always. May the family be comforted to know that others do care. One Love/One Heart.

A honorable and respected man. A man of character, wisdom and just a honest human. Being around him was such a pleasure, his knowledge of history in particular, architecture and its evolution over time. His visits to Philadelphia, during his spare time after hours, he would take walks to the different monuments and museums. He always made himself available, not standing behind the badge of Ambassador. A giant of a man who has fought a good fight and has left an inedible legacy in our community here and at home. May Ambassador, the Honorable Anthony 'Tony' Johnson, OJ rest in peace. He will be missed.

As the Department of State's Acting Assistant Secretary of Western Hemisphere Affairs, I wish to express the deepest sympathy of the United States Government to the Government of Jamaica and the people of Jamaica on the passing of former Ambassador Anthony Johnson. As Ambassador to the United States and Permanent Representative to the Organization of American States, Ambassador Johnson’s unquestioned statesmanship and humanitarianism earned him the respect of so many in Jamaica and around the world. I want to convey our heartfelt condolences to his wife and their four children, among them the current Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Kamina Johnson Smith.

My deepest condolence to the Johnson family on the passing of such a great human being. As a student of Mr. Johnson at the UWI in the early 2000s, I can say that he was an excellent and approachable Lecturer! He is missed.

Tony and I served in the Senate, he excelled in all areas and at all times upheld the integrity of his Office. Always approachable and willing to help solve any problem, especially when they looked overwhelming, Tony would take the time to find the right solution.
His service to Country and people will always be remembered with appreciation. This kind and patient Gentleman has left this World a better place for having been here.
May his Soul Rest In Peace.
Sincere condolences to his lovely family.
WALK GOOD MI FREN!
