Obituary of Harold Grant Johnson

Harold Grant Johnson passed away peacefully surrounded by his family, on April 30, 2025 at the age of 80 at Stratford General Hospital, leaving behind a legacy of love laughter and cherished memories. 

Beloved husband of Lynda (Lyndie-Sue).  Father of Robin Stevens (Shawn), Chris Proctor (Katherine), Cathy MacGowan (Neil), Dave Proctor (Michelle). Grandfather of Ethan, Cameron, Hayley, Nolan, Makayla, Madeline, Gwen, Alex, Evan, Brooklyn and great-grandson Kaden. Brother of Berniece Harris and predeceased by his brother George Johnson. He will be missed by the Ann St. Coffee Group with special thanks to his good friend Ross Marshall for his steadfast friendship and support.  A devoted father and grandfather, Harold’s greatest joy was time spent with his family at family gatherings. He was a loving husband and soulmate to Lynda. 

Harold cherished the memories he made playing hockey with the KW Old Timers, loved to spend time fishing (on his own, or with grandchildren), golfing,  woodworking, and piecing together puzzles. He enjoyed any chance he could watch the Baltimore Orioles play, and will be fondly remembered as the family jokester.

Harold enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, including sharing a glass of rum with family or friends, the companionship of his beloved cats Sammy and Stewart and the warmth of his family. His presence will be deeply missed and his spirit will live in our hearts. 

Cremation to take place. A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, June 1 from 1:00pm to 4:00pm at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 50 (524 Belmont Ave. W., Kitchener).
