Johnson, Schuyler K. W.

Schuyler K. W. Johnson, 80 of Binghamton died Sunday, January 31, 2016 at Elizabeth Church Manor. He was predeceased by his wife, Phyllis Johnson; his parents, Kenneth E. and Sally Wood Johnson and his sister, Sally Ann Johnson Rollins. He is survived by his children, David Schuyler Johnson, Phoenix, AZ, Sara Ann Johnson-Kaplan and Jason W. Kaplan, New York City; grandchildren, Chelsea K.

He was a member of Tabernacle United Methodist Church, Binghamton and the former proprietor of Johnson's China and Glass in Binghamton. He was a former member of the U.S. Army National Guard. He loved skiing and was an avid skier at Greek Peak for over 50 years which was passed down to his children. He also was an avid biker and enjoyed hiking. Schuyler grew up at 32 West End Avenue, Binghamton and spent summers at Oquaga Lake and later with friends at Quaker Lake. Those who knew him well enjoyed sharing stories over a beverage. He was the grandson of Edward A. Johnson, who started A&J Kitchen Tools and patented the egg beater. A Memorial Service will be held at a later date. The family will receive friends at the J. A. McCormack Sons Funeral Home, 141 Main Street, Binghamton Thursday from 4-6 p.m.

Sara and David,
I was very sorry to read of Schuyler's passing. He was one great guy. He would do anything for you. We spent a week together in Colorado twenty years ago. Friends at Greek Peak called us the "odd couple" when we skied together. Our styles were the same but our personalities very different. Schuyler considered a season less than seventy five days a bad season. It was so sad when his knees made him stop skiing. May he rest in peace.
