Hugh Johnson

I remember him very well from high school in 1981,I think was the date.He was very kind to me.I was one of those kids who didn't like school much,and found myself in detentions towards the end.He picked me up hitch hiking home,and made it very clear how dangerous it was,he took concern.I just remember he was a great guy,and the kids respected him.Sorry for your loss.Peace to your family.

So sorry for your loss. Hugh Johnson was a coach, teacher and father-figure to me at a crucial time in my life, and I so appreciated him. To this day, I use his name for on-line security questions that ask for your favorite teacher's name. I thank God for his life. God Bless You and your family!. Joseph Altschul, SHS Class of 81

Rest in Peace Coach Johnson. v/r Don Boland

I am so saddened to hear of Hugh's passing. I have many happy memories of my time at Pinkerton Academy when he taught U.S. History and coached the football team. He was my teacher but also a mentor to my group of fellow classmates, who he affectionately dubbed "the Mafia." I will always remember him fondly as a friend. My condolences to your family. 8/23/2018

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Johnson. I have often thought of my years at Alvirne and the many conversations we shared. He was firm, while fair and always ready to listen and offer advice. My condolences to Mrs. Johnson, and your family.

So sorry for your loss Karen and Family

Sincere condolences to your family. You were a great man and honored to have known you. RIP Mr Johnson.

R.I.P Mr. Johnson, thank you so much for all talks, you inspired me to be better, and most importantly you made me believe I could be better.

My condolences. I was a student at Alvirne High School class of 1990. I went through some difficult times. He was firm but very understanding. He was a well respected, good man. Rest in peace Mr. J. ♥

He was a great man! I was a student @ Alvirne High School from 1981 to 1984. Though he was tough, he was fair...
When my parents separated, he was so understanding! Thank-You Mr Johnson, you will be greatly missed!

My sincere condolences. I have nothing but fond memories of Mr Johnson. Class of 90, Alvirne.

My sincere condolences to the family. Let me tell you that had Mr Johnson not been my VP at Alvirne HS, I would not be the person I am today. Loved the man he was and what he taught us as students. You are in my thoughts and prayers always. Kelly Fisher -Alvirne HS class of 1985

My sincere condolences to Mrs. Johnson and the entire Johnson family. He was one of the nicest people I knew and was the Assistant Principal at my high school. He was well respected by the student body, but more than that, he was fair to everyone.

Rest in peace, Mr. Johnson.

He was a good man. I got to know him well and respected him so much. I have thought about him quite a lot over the years. RIP Mr. J ❤

My sincere condolences to Mrs Johnson & the entire Johnson Family. Mr. Johnson was a wonderful man.

Mr.Johnson was and excellent educator and principal. Tough yet fair. On a personal level he played football with my uncle John DeLuca @ Haverhill High. They were in the same class. My condolences to the family. Rest easy Mr. Johnson.

I am saddened to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of (as I knew him) Mr Johnson.
He was the Vice Principal at Alvirne during my high school years and left me with wonderful memories and life lessons. He was a kind and caring trustworthy man who listened whole heartedly. I gave him a run for his money, and he challenged me to be better. He made a difference ❤

You touched many lives. As an assistant principle you were fair but firm and treated students fairly. Much respect to you. RIP Hugh!

Mr Johnson was my Principle i am sorry for your loss he was an awsome man who will be missed

You were a kind man. Thank you for everything. Rest easy.

I am saddened to hear of his passing. He was assistant principle at Alvirne HS when I attended. He was a fair and good man. May he rest in peace. My condolences to his family.

A kind hearted man who knew what his priorities were. My condolences to his family.

Rafe, my thoughts and prayers are with you today.

Karen and family,
So sorry for your loss. May happy memories take over the sadness you feel today,
Our condolences to you and your family.

You led the Salem High Blue Devils to peak performance giving the cheerleaders something to cheer about. Thank you so much for your dedication to our football team and for making a difference in so many of our lives. Jo Ann Holt (now, Offutt), Salem High School, Class of 1971.

My sincere condolences to Coach Johnson's family. He was a great coach, but even a better mentor. I was a real "screw up" back in 1968-72 while playing for him at Salem but he put up with my antics. Like the time I was supposed to wash a teachers' car for "Slave Day" but blew its transmission leaving rubber in the high school parking lot - well, it was Maz & Murray too. That's one of many, many incidents he had to deal with, and deal with it he did in a reasonable, fatherly "old school" way. I admire him now for putting up with it (and us).
We stayed in touch over the decades and, looking back, he had a tremendous impact on my life which carried over to my time as an assistant high school football coach here in northern CA. May he rest in peace.

Thank you seems inadequate for the valuable lessons you taught me that have stayed with me for my entire life. I may have forgotten my American History (sorry Coach) but the things I learned from you on the field of play, teamwork, perseverance, fair play, those are life lesson I will never forget. I am also grateful for the friendship you gave to my dad, it meant the world to him to have such a good friend. The mark or legacy that a teacher or coach leaves behind cannot usually be seen or touched. It is not cast in stone. It can be heard in the many voices of the students and players influenced by the lessons you taught them. Thank you Coach.

you have been a good friend over these many years...such a blessing. holding you, karen and your family in my thoughts.

RIP Hugh! You were a good man. Rafe, and Family: Sorry for your loss.

I enjoyed playing for Hugh during my high school years at Salem High. A true mentor for many as he truly believed in hard work that leads to excellence. Everyone that played for him is a better person for it.

I played for Hugh for a number of years at Salem High. He pushed his players to be the best they could be. He taught us all to be winners.

so sad to hear this.you were a big influence in my life and will be forever grateful for pushing me to be better than I thought possible. I have had the opportunity to pass down a lot of what I learned from you to others .many great memories on and off the field.

From a fellow Hertz driver who had the pleasure of getting to know you, may you rest in peace in the Lord's presence

Hugh, sorry I can't be there to send you off. You were truly one of the best friends I ever had and along with my mother, father and wife, you were a tremendous influence on my life. You and I went through so much together and I have so many memories and stories about you that I will never forget. When I think of these memories, I feel happiness and sadness. You did so much for me and my career that I could never really thank you enough. Rest in peace, my friend and may God hold you in the palm of his hands.
