With sadness, the family of Lawrence Johnson announces his passing on April 4, 2021 in Calgary, AB at the age of 75 years.
Lawrence and Lynn moved to Alberta in 1969 and resided in Vulcan, AB. Lawrence will be remembered for his wit, humor and storytelling. Both Lawrence and Lynn enthusiastically participated in the numerous Star Trek activities in Vulcan. Lawrence developed a love of woodworking and making toys, selling them at the local markets. Lawrence, with his white beard, loved to play Santa at all times of the year. His wings were ready but our hearts were not.
Besides his loving wife of 53 years, Lynn (Archer), Lawrence is survived by his two daughters – Valerie (Rob) Gale of Three Hills, AB and Penny (Tracey) Zabrowsky of Sherwood Park, AB, two sons – Lyle and Daryl Johnson both of Calgary, four grandchildren – Robbie, Deanna, Carys and Okyn, and a brother – Raymond (Linda) Johnson of Dallard des Ormaaux, QC and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Arthur and Kay (Francis) of Woodstock, ON.
The family will gather together privately at a later date.
Tributes in Lawrence’s memory can be made to the AB/NWT Heart and Stroke Foundation (100,119-14 Street NW, Calgary, Alberta, T2N 1Z6)or the Diabetes Canada (220,6223-2nd Street SE, Calgary, Alberta T2H 1J5).
