Obituary for James Johnson

We will greatly miss James “Jim” Johnson who passed away suddenly on Monday, October 31, 2022. Jim was born in 1934 to the late Hilda May and Rankin Johnson. He was the loving husband of Shirley and the very proud father of son Shawn and daughter in law Sue. Jim loved his granddaughter Ashley Zehr (Adam), grandson Jordan Johnson (Theresa Mittler) and great granddaughter Millie Zehr. He is also survived by his brother Tom (Mary) and sisters in law Phyllis Hazlett, Grace Perry and Ila Mae Johnson. Jim is predeceased by brothers John, Murray and Wayne.

Wherever Jim went, he brought laughter and love. He loved to tell long stories and jokes. His laugh was unique, loud and infectious! Anyone who has ever met Jim immediately speaks of his laugh and love for life. Jim proudly worked for 38 years with Tecumseh Gas Storage (Enbridge). Jim enjoyed life, loved his family and friends and worked hard. He will live on in our stories and in our memories of his vibrant, kind and funny personality.

Please join us for a celebration of Jim’s life on Saturday, December 3rd, 2022 from 11:00am to 1:00pm at the Branch 642 Legion (39 William St North, Chatham).
