While the past week has been a success for Los Angeles Dodgers on the field, they have endured losses off it, with the latest being “Sweet” Lou Johnson passing away Thursday night at the age of 86.
Born Louis Brown Johnson on Sept. 22, 1934, in Lexington, Kentucky, he is survived by his wife Sarah and children Lauren, Carlton and Quinton. Funeral services are pending.
“Lou Johnson was such a positive inspiration at Dodger Stadium with our employees and our fans as well as throughout the community in the appearances he made on behalf of the organization,” Dodgers president & CEO Stan Kasten said in a statement.
