He enjoyed music and sang in the choir at St. Leo the Great Catholic Church where he was a member, and also sang in the AARP chorus. He also was a member of the Red Rose Coin Club and enjoyed holding court with his brothers and friends at Valentino’s. Most of all enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.

Tim is survived by his son, Michael T. Johnson of Charlestown, Mass., daughter, Jill I. Johnson of Landisville and three granddaughters, Katherine, Erin and Shannon. He is also survived by his two brothers, James Johnson, husband of Nancy of Lancaster, John Johnson, husband of Rose of Willow Street and his sister, Terrie Finger of Lancaster.

Jill and family, may the peace of God be near and dear to you at this time of loss. I worked with Tim at Bell and Lucent and had great respect for his knowledge and skills in performing his work duties. More than once I would call him for technical assistance at work. After we were retired I would get company information in the mail and a call to your Dad would help me sort those choices out.
Also, Jill, you might remember that you played against our daughter (Molly) in high school soccer (Warwick).

Many of my childhood memories include Tim from Troop 25 of the Boy Scouts to working at the Lancaster General Hospital and of course Lancaster Catholic High School. Both of us enlisted in the U.S Air Force at about the same time. The years seemed to melt away when we would catch up at the LCHS class reunions. I aways considered him a Good Man!
