Ian Haviland Johnstone

Dr. Johnstone always lit up the room and brought fun and joy to everyone in it! I grew up at Cental Square Congregational Church in Bridgewater. My sisters and I all sang in the choir. Our families met right when they moved to Bridgewater as neighbors. Heather and I became friends quickly.

They worked beautifully...

Dr. Johnstone was such a wonderful, caring man. I am so sorry for your loss. But, I am blessed to have known him. Sending you all my love.

To our dearest friend, Ian, It is so difficult to put into words what you meant to us and to so many others. You brightened our lives for many years as you were an integral part of our family. You were there when our children were married, serving as the exemplar of how marriage should proceed with love, kindness, caring and hard work.
