Stanley Robert Johnson

Stanley Robert Johnson was born on April 10, 1954, the third child of Ruth Rumberg Johnson and William Robert (Bob) Johnson. He was raised in South Charleston, graduating from South Charleston High School in 1972. After moving north for college, graduating Magna Cum Laude from West Virginia University in 1976, Stan lived with his family in Bridgeport for a few years before making his way home, and spending most of his life in and around his wonderful family and friends in the South Charleston area. Stan had a tight knit group of friends, many of whom go back to their grade school days. He was quiet, caring, and fiercely loyal to his friends and family. He was smart, thoughtful and a voracious reader, and as a result you would be hard pressed to find a better person with whom to share a coffee and a conversation. He had many hobbies. He was a tremendous painter, producing watercolor paintings that don the walls of family and friends. He loved to fish. He built fly rods for himself and his sons and would painstakingly tie flies that rivaled any that you would find in your local fly shop. In his later years he revisited his childhood numismatist hobby, putting together American type set coin collections and sharing their historical and artistic significance with his sons and grandchildren. He was always sharply dressed, with a discerning closet of khakis, sports coats and loafers. Stan spent his early career in land management in the North Central part of the state, before settling into long term career as a well-regarded asset and trust manager with One Valley Bank and eventually, BB and T. While Stan was enviously good at his hobbies and at his job, he will be most remembered as a loving husband, father and friend, with many of his most cherished moments spent at the kitchen table with the love of his life Jan, doing crossword puzzles, and talking about the beautiful life that they built together. It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce that Stan passed away from complications of chronic Parkinsons’ Disease. He is survived by his wife, Jan Johnson, his older sister, Pam Morris (Russ), his older brother, Terry Johnson (Beth), his two sons Garrett and Benjamin Johnson (Dale), his step-sons Wesley (Jessica) and Alex Tuel (Laura), his 9 grandchildren; Isaac and Charlotte Johnson, Wyatt and Josephine Johnson, Olivia, Dylan and Elena Tuel, Hudson and Desmond Tuel and his dog, Charley. He is also survived by so many who are lucky to have called him a dear friend. We will collectively miss him greatly.
