Thomas R. Johnson
Died- April 21, 2014
Thomas R. Johnson, 71, of Saint Clair, died Monday at Schuylkill Medical Center-East Norwegian Street.
Born in Saint Clair, April 13, 1943, he was a son of the late Milton and Jean Peifer Johnson.
He was a graduate of Saint Clair High School and Ursinus College, where he earned a bachelor's degree in English.

His calendar was filled with Masonic meetings almost every night of the week.
But home was always most important to this lifelong resident of Saint Clair. Tommy and Jane met monthly for lunch and dinners with Club 61, a group of high school friends.

Tommy was also active in many civic organizations: director of the St. David's Society of Schuylkill and Carbon counties; Schuylkill County Historical Society; Saint Clair Historical Society; Central Republican Club of Schuylkill County; and a former member of the Schuylkill County Drug and Alcohol Commission.
