Beyond the courtroom, Johnson was also deeply engaged in community affairs. He was a long-standing member of the Eko Club of Houston and Eko Club International, organisations dedicated to promoting Yoruba culture, mutual support, and development efforts both in the diaspora and in Nigeria.
Friends from these associations remembered him as a tireless contributor who rarely missed a meeting or event, and who mentored younger members with warmth and wisdom.
“Larry was more than just a lawyer, he was a community pillar,” one longtime friend and fellow Eko Club member said. “He gave his time, his voice, and his heart to everything he believed in. His passing is a huge loss not only to his family but to all of us who had the privilege of knowing him.”
