All,
As some of you have no doubt heard, Roger Johnson passed away last friday. A Celebration of Life will be held for Roger on January 4th 2025, at 11 AM at the Fulmont Community Church in Gloversville. Hopefully some of the 602 members who knew Roger can attend, I am sure the Johnson family would appreciate it.
Obituary below (thanks for sharing this?Darryl):
Roger Neal Johnson, 83 (1941 - 2024), embarked on an eternal adventure on December 13, 2024, surrounded by family. He leaves behind his wife of 61 years, Doris Anne (Diakun) Johnson; five children: Christopher (Abigail), Kimberly (Thomas) Bonafede, Todd (Jeannie), Sara (the late David) Palmateer, and Amy (Travis) Teale; ten grandchildren: Alista, Michael, Ashley, Zachary, Dakota, Chase, Jesse, Charley, Wyatt, and Ayla; and one great-granddaughter, Ariana.
Roger was a graduate of Clarkson University (BS) and RPI (MS). As a design?engineer for GE Research and Development, he was awarded 20 patents as co-inventor. He was a small plane pilot and an owner of two antique autos. Roger tutored many children in math and took many children up for their first plane ride through the EAA Young Eagles Program. He was also a deacon, church bus driver, and Sunday school teacher for various area churches. Roger was a member of Fulmont Community Church in Gloversville where he rang the ancient church bell every Sunday with his helpers, Mac and Stella.
