JOHNSON……

Ronald “Ron” Johnson died peacefully on September 24, 2008 in St. Thomas hospital after a long battle with cancer. Ron is survived by his wife Nancy, his sons Trevor and Ron and their wives Karlene Kimber and Lisa King; his grandchildren Sydney, Kennedy, Book and Charlotte; his brother Leonard and his wife Helen and their children, as well as many other relatives. Ron is remembered as a fine father, a kind-hearted soul, and a funny, good-natured man. Ron attended South and Beal secondary schools followed by the Parson’s School of Art and Design in New York City. He had a long career with Jensen’s Furniture in London. He married Nancy Tait in 1965 and raised two sons to be caring and good-hearted chaps, just like him. A lover of music, an avid reader, a creative person, an antique aficionado, hockey fan, lover of red wine and coffee black with one sugar, Ron lived a full life, loved his family and left the world a better place. Ron Sr. will be well and truly missed. Friends will be received by the family from 2 – 4 and 7 – 9pm Sunday, September 28, 2008 at the A. Millard George Funeral Home, 60 Ridout Street South, London. A celebration of Ron’s life will be held at Wesley Knox United Church, 91 Askin Street, London on Monday, September 29, 2008 at 2 pm with Reverend Thomas D. Hiscock Officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Victorian Order of Nurses. Online condolences accepted at www.amgfh.com
