Warren Johnston

After 76 fabulous years of a loving, adventurous, creative and often hilarious marriage, Warren Johnston, who with Sandy, have travelled the country and lived in way too may states, decided to make the final journey alone and departed on December 9. Anyone who knew him became his friend. He was a rare gem. No one can replace him.

Dear Sandy, my deepest condolences. I learned of Warren's passing by way of Hutch's Gazette...and yes, I was shocked and saddened. Though I had not spoken with Warren for many years, I enjoyed the occasional update from him through the Gazette and gave thanks that you both had apparently found the perfect place to celebrate the aspects of life you both loved so much in Vermont. The obituary is beautiful and captures Warren's spirit and character so well...I echo all those sentiments about him...

Without a doubt, Warren Johnston was one of the finest news people I´ve ever worked with. During our time together at The Tampa Tribune, Warren was always ready with helpful insight and wise counsel. He was a friend. I will miss him.

Sandy I just heard about Warren, I am so very sorry for your loss. May you find peace in this tough time. Hugs to you.

Warren, we're going to miss you.

Warren was great editor and an incredibly nice person. I am so grateful for the years I worked with him and got to know him. He will be missed.

Dear Sandy, I am saddened to learn of Warren's passing and want you to know that I am thinking of you. We in Sharon are all indebted to Warren for organizing the Alliance for Vermont Communities which stopped the New Vistas project. His work to save the Ashley forest is a lasting tribute to him. Peace to you during this sad time. Sue Sellew

I just learned of Warren´s passing. I´m stunned. Somehow, I imagined that we´d be walking the land together for a long while to come. I wanted to share a quick recollection of my favorite walk with Warren, which came about due to his work with Alliance for Vermont Communities and my work for Upper Valley Land Trust. I was walking with Warren, near the back of the pack as the details of an upcoming trail work project were being discussed. We climbed up one of the early hills before the steep...

Warren was the nicest Liberal I ever met. My sincere condolences to Sandy and all his family.
