John “Aldo” Johnson was born June 23, 1925 in the Water Glen District of Ponoka and passed away on December 1, 2012 in Ponoka at 87 years of age. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 62 years, Bernie; four children Karen (Jerry) Deckert, Cathy (Gary) Edwards, Connie (Kerry) Clarke and Tim (Julia) Johnson; grandchildren Janelle (Cameron) Hinton, Jeffrey (Kristy) Deckert, Jackie (Andy) Koehn, Brydon (Lane) Edwards, Jarod Edwards, Lindsay (Jason) Desnoyers, Landon (Nicole) Clarke, Miranda Johnson and Ashlyn Mackie; as well as 11 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents Otto and Karine Johnson; brother Leonard Johnson; sisters Evelyn Richardson and Doris Humphrey; brothers-in-law Henry Toth and Martin Toth; and sister-in-law Mary DeZaeyer.


Aldo’s love for his family was first and foremost. Thanks to Aldo’s lake development, Johnson’s Beach Subdivision, he was always in the company of family and friends which was a source of constant happiness for him. He enjoyed music, dancing, boating, fishing, travelling and for many years was an avid card player. He was a man truly blessed by his family’s love and his memory and legacy will never be forgotten.
