Mr. Wallace Johnson, who started Johnson's Grocery and Meat Market in Eunice, La and continued boudin, and sausage making and traditional Cajun cooking at Johnson's Boucaniere in Lafayette, passed away last night. Mr. Wallace was one of the kindest, most humble Cajun men in the business and will be missed by his customers and all of his family and friends.

Rest in Peace , Mr. Wallace.

Sorry to hear of this.

He was kind gentleman who took my order many times.

Sadly, he was a bit hard of hearing, and I hated having to raise my voice to him just to place my order.

RIP Mr. Wallace.

Stopped in years ago on a long drive to Houston with my family for lunch. He took the time to visit with us and explained how he stuffed garlic cloves in the pork roast and how he cooked it.

One of the good guys.
