David Johnson, a veteran of the modular housing industry in the East passed away this week. I was honored to have known him.
He enjoyed modular housing and could regale you with stories of his many modular experiences.

He spent 35 years in the modular home-building industry, most recently as a sales director at Impresa Modular.

It was a pleasure to have known and worked with David from the retail side
Of the industry. He was always the same man, always very up beat. My prayers go out to his family for their loss.

David never had a down day, even when the chips were way down. He had the brightest, cheeriest voice that jumped out of the phone. He was a positive force the industry, and just a damned good human being. He is missed by many.
