Born in Chatham, Gerald was the eldest son of the late Wilfred & Marie (nee Hornick) Johnson.

Gerald traveled throughout Southwestern Ontario as a Delivery Driver for Borden’s, Silverwoods, and Beatrice Dairies. Margaret & Gerald enjoyed winters away down South and he enjoyed his antique cars. Gerald loved to spend time on the green and golfed whenever he had a chance. He will be dearly missed by his cat, Kit, his afternoon coffee friends at McDonalds and most importantly, his family.
The family would extend their sincere appreciation to Dr. Bailey for her many years of caring for their father.
