It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Ross Johnson, on Saturday March 12, 2022. Son to the late James and Lodema Johnson and brother to late Elgin, Ralph, Howard, Ron, Bernice, and Doug. He is survived by his beloved wife of 67 years, Joan (Stewart). Loving father to Lisa (Bret Snider) and his late son Jeffrey Johnson. Beloved grandfather to Cameron Watt (Jessica Harte), Kenneth Watt (Angela Horsfall), “GG” to Logan Watt “Logie Bear” and father-in-law to Dave Watt. Ross will be missed by his many nieces, nephews, great and grand nieces and nephews and brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. He will also be missed by his many friends at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and his colleagues and neighbours. His love of singing and whistling will continue in our memories and our hearts. He participated in the choir at Church and in many plays, musicals and singing engagements throughout his life. Ross dedicated his working career to teaching, being a teacher, vice-principal and principal in the Niagara region, moving on to the Ministry of Education in Kingston followed by the Northumberland Newcastle Board of Education as the Coordinator of Learning Resources. Upon his retirement he founded and ran his own AV business called “Take 1” and provided AV support to many in Cobourg and Port Hope. We ask that any donation in his honour be made to the Northumberland Hills Hospital Foundation or to St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Cobourg. We also ask that you give a donation of a hug and kiss to those closest to you made in Ross’s Honour. Cremation will be taking place and a private family interment will occur in the Spring.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Oliver Ross
