JOHNSON, Stanley Victor Ernest

Passed away peacefully at St. Joseph’s Hospital on August 4, 2018 at 93 years of age. He was born July 8, 1925 in Bristol, England, the son of John and Lillian Johnson, and immigrated to Canada in 1957. Stanley was predeceased by his loving wife Isobel (March 29, 2017) after 68 years of marriage. He will be missed by sons Brian Johnson of Windsor, Ontario, Andrew Johnson (Ruby) of Finland, daughter Helen Wojcinski (Zbigniew) of Ann Arbor, MI, sister Valerie Marks of Bracebridge, Ontario, grandchildren Marissa Bruce (Iain), Chapel Hill, NC, and Christian Wojcinski, Ann Arbor, MI. Until his retirement, Stanley was a tool and die maker for International Harvester/Case. He was an innovative mechanical designer who could fix anything and everything. He especially enjoyed repairing clocks and watches, home projects of all kinds, and woodworking. He was active in the Cerebral Palsy Association and one of the initiators of Participation House (Able Living) in Binbrook. We are grateful to the staff on ALC2, St. Joseph Hospital, for the excellent care provided and compassion shown during Stanley’s last months and to Catholic Family Services for all their support throughout a difficult time. According to Stanley’s wishes, cremation has taken place following a private family service. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Stanley’s memory can be made to the Alzheimer Society of Ontario.
