Tony Allen Johnson

Back to Museum

4 years old
Philadelphia, Pa

Little Tony was funny and charming and was loved by everyone. He was known as "The Little Hug" because he would run up and hug you the moment he saw you. He was only 4 years old when he was killed in an arson fire that was set by his mothers ex-boyfriend. The fire killed not only Tony but also his two uncles and his grandmother.
