Lloyd Johnson, Jr. (2 Jul 1938 - 19 May 2009) []

Lloyd Johnson Jr.        
Dr. Lloyd Johnson Jr., 70, passed away May 19, 2009. He is loved and will be dearly missed. He will be remembered by many as a wonderful doctor and friend, and he will be remembered by his family as an amazing husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle. His life was dedicated to serving God and helping others through medicine, to cheering on the Crimson Tide with friends, and to making his family feel loved and cherished. That family, as it celebrates him, recalls the days he spent with them cruising in the boat, driving out West in the RV, cheering through the lens of a video camera at countless sporting events and sitting in his chair at the dinner table.

Lloyd was born July 2, 1938, in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to loving parents. He grew up in Florence, Ala., where he played basketball at Coffee High School and reigned as Mr. Coffee High, graduating in 1956. He returned to Tuscaloosa to attend the University of Alabama. He excelled in the classroom and on the basketball court as team captain, despite the distance from his beloved mother's cooking. After a business school course in statistics, he decided to change his major to pre-med. He graduated from the Medical College of Alabama in 1961.

He met his wife, Joan, in the University of Alabama Emergency Room, where they both were in training. A man of efficiency, he proposed in the VA cafeteria. They married June 25, 1966, and would have celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary this summer.

Dedicated to a life of service, Lloyd worked as an orthopedic surgeon for 34 years, "retiring" in 2004. He still gave Social Security exams once a week and continued to work at area clinics. He supported Christian mission work around the world. Lloyd believed in ministering to those less fortunate, quietly providing food, favors, diagnoses, support and a helping hand to friends and strangers in need. He loved the islands of Hawaii, blue grass gospel, and Diet Mountain Dew, always in two-liter bottles. He memorized the front nine at Turtle Point, where he was a member, and always carried a customized calendar to show off pictures of his wife, four children, their spouses and six grandchildren.

Visitation will be from 2-4 p.m. Friday, May 22, in the atrium of First Baptist Church of Florence. The service will directly follow at 4 p.m. in First Baptist Church sanctuary. The Right Revered John Harper, of Birmingham, will officiate. Elkins Funeral Home is assisting the family.

Lloyd is survived by his wife, Joan Palmer Johnson; his children and their spouses, Lloyd and Holly Johnson, Tim and Kristi Smith, Todd and Betsy Johnson, and Brian and Ashley Kappel; his grandchildren, Alex, Ella, Lily, Gabrielle, Sienna, Ethan, and a seventh, a girl due in August; his sister, Sissy Scroggins (Derrell); and his niece, Mary Sue Ridgway (Alan).

He was preceded in death by his father, Lloyd Johnson Sr.; his mother, Mary Sue Johnson; and his niece, Suzanne Scroggins.

Pallbearers will be David Crawford, Frank Hatchett, Still Hunter, John Lawson, Jim Northington, Uhland Redd, Ed Tease and Bob Yoder. Honorary pallbearers will be the members of the Florence Rotary and the Lauderdale County Medical Society.

In lieu of flowers, Lloyd's wife and children prefer donations be made to Habitat for Humanity, in honor of the loving home he built for them.

Suspected Child Kidnapper Captured in the Act

A shirtless stranger lurks in a parking lot, grabs a little girl and takes off - that's what Chattanooga Police tell us happened earlier today. But believe it or not witnesses say a five year old boy helped make this a close call instead a frightening kidnapping.

Jeremy Mizell sits in the back of a squad car after police say he tried to snatch a six year old girl in front the Ace Hardware Store on East Brainerd Rd.

"My heart was beating I thought I was going to have a heart attack I was so scared," Kenneth Scroggins, the girl's grandfather, says. "It's a grandparents worse nightmare because he was ten yards from getting her."

A nightmare that Scroggins says almost became a reality when a stranger lured his six year old granddaughter, Loren, over to a fence on the side of the parking lot.

"He gave you some cookies is that right?" we ask Loren and her five year old brother Eamon. Both shake their heads at the same time. "No he lied," Eamon says.

Instead of cookies Eamon says the stranger served his sister a surprise.

"Grabbed her," Eamon says. "He grabbed her.. what did you do?" we ask. "I went behind him!"

An unlikely hero who managed to pursue Mizell until his grandfather realized what was happening.

"He was going after the guy that had his sister and that's how I see that blue shirt dropping over that wall and I know there not supposed to be in that parking lot," Scroggins says.

So Scroggins took off and caught up with Mizell a few feet away from his car.

"He said I wasn't hurting her I wasn't hurting her and I said yes you was, you was trying to kidnap her and he said please sir don't kill me please sir don't kill me because I told him I was going to kill him," Scroggins says.

But Mizell managed to get away until police caught up with him several block down the road - we're told he was not wearing a shirt or any shoes.

"It was very fortunate that the grandfather was around to observe it, gave chase and recovered the child," Sgt. Jerri Weary, with the Chattanooga Police Department, says.

Sgt. Weary tells us Mizell will face an especially aggravated kidnapping charge but also tells us they found porn in his car which means he could be facing additional.

"They need to hang him - I should have went on and hit him, cause he'll get out again and I bet he's been in there before," Scroggins says.

Police tell us that Mizell has been arrested before for lewd conduct and for inhaling paint.
