June 9, 1947 – February 13, 2020
It is with great sorrow that the family of Richard Johnson announce his passing at the Oilfields Hospital at the age of 72 years, after a courageous battle with cancer. Richard was born in Hardisty, Alberta. He joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1964 and was stationed at various locations in Canada, and he spent a six-month tour with the United Nations in the Golan Heights. He retired in 1988 and settled in Okotoks. Richard is survived by his loving wife Shirley of over 52 years, his daughter Lori (Mark), son Darren, one grandson and two step-granddaughters.
The family would like to thank the staff of the oilfields Hospital, the great staff of High River cancer clinic, and his two favourite home care nurses Cindy and Julia.
In memory of Richard and in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of your choice.
