Obituary of Wayne Johnson

Kathy, Lee, Justine and Kyle Rodgers are very sad to announce the passing of their Dad and Papa on Saturday, September 29, 2012. Cherished husband of Elizabeth "Betty". Stepfather to the late Ernie Lawrence (late Dorothy), Marilyn Buscarini (late Mario), Sharon Lawrence, Wayne Lawrence and Gayle Kay. Papa to 14 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. Son of the late Samuel and Margaret Johnson of New Waterford, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Brother of Clarence of Sydney, Nova Scotia and the late Clayton Johnson. Wayne served in the Canadian Armed Forces (Japan and Korea). When released in 1955, he came to the Sault with his army buddy. He got hired at Algoma Steel Corp. where he worked for 36 years in the Machine Shop. Wayne will be missed by his many friends. We will miss his good sense of humour, his passion for sports, and his many stories. He leaves us with happy memories and will be cherished in our hearts forever.
