Gregory L. Johnston age 67 of Ledgewood, formerly of Clifton, died suddenly and unexpectedly, on Thursday, December 12, 2013.
He was born in Orange, NJ and raised in Clifton having graduated from Clifton High School with the Class of 1965. After high school he worked as an apprentice electrician and in 1975 began a career of over forty years with Fairfield Maintenance in Fairfield.
Greg was a member of the Montclair Heights Reformed Church and served as a Deacon and Elder at the church. He donated a great deal of his time to maintaining the church and the gardens in front. He especially liked the Christmas Eve service where he could ring the church bell at midnight and wake the neighborhood.
He enjoyed gardening in his yard, having grown all kinds of vegetables and the most beautiful Dahlia’s. His family remembers him coming in with bags of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and bunches of beautiful flowers including huge Dahlia’s. He was a cat lover and would often rescue strays and give them a home. Another of his hobbies was a love of steam trains. He enjoyed their size, beauty, and the sound of their whistles. He had a surround sound system in his home and would play a video of steam trains that made you think a train was coming through the house. He was the kind of person who would help you with any project he could and expect nothing in return. Greg was also a car enthusiast who loved Mustangs.
He was the loving husband of the late Virginia (nee Sisco) Johnston (2004); cherished father of Kristina “Kristi” Johnston of Ledgewood; much loved brother-in-law of Edward Sisco and his wife Irene of Wayne, Madelyn Alexander of Fair Lawn, and Peggy Sisco of Ringwood; he was the devoted uncle of many nieces and nephews.
