Mr. Johnson graduated from Doherty Memorial High School. He worked many years as a production inspector for Norton - St. Gobain prior to retirement. He was devoted to his family throughout his life, coaching his children’s many sports teams, attending events, fishing with them and using his woodworking skills to make them toys and furnishings. He enjoyed gardening and tending to his lawn as well as riding his “Harley” and summers on Cape Cod. Steve was an avid Yankee’s fan. He loved golf and did successfully get a hole in one in 2022 at Pine Ridge Country Club. He enjoyed watching football, golf, baseball, hockey and basketball. He loved spending time with his four grandchildren and would give them the world. He was the joy in Linda’s life. His humor was overwhelming, and he made his family laugh with each witty comment.
