No task too small or too big — a servant at three churches and a pillar of Jersey City.
Herman was an active member of Philadelphia Missionary Baptist Church in Jersey City, where he served on the Board of Trustees — and where there was no task too small or too big for him. Whether it was shoveling snow or giving parishioners a ride, he was there for everybody, including his beloved Pastor and Sister Doby.
His service ran through three congregations: Vice-Chairman of the Board of Trustees at St. John’s Baptist Church, and Secretary of the Board of Trustees at Mount Olive Baptist Church — where he also helped organize, and served as Scoutmaster for, Troop 639 of the Boy Scouts of America.
Every gift becomes an award in Herman Johnson Sr.’s name. Every request keeps a promise he made his whole life: that the next generation gets its chance.
