There comes a time in everyones life 
when they must leave their loved ones and depart these earthly shores. 
That time came to Mr. William G. Johnson, Sr. of Hephzibah, GA on 
Saturday at University Hospital on, January 3, 2009. 
William was born to Ola Gibbs and William Olanda Johnson on September 
20, 1929 in Augusta, Georgia. He attended Haines High School and was 
enlisted in the U. S. Army but was medically discharged.. Believing marriage 
to be honorable, he united with Juanita J. Everson. To this union six children 
were born. Upon her death, he found love again and united in matrimony 
with Deloris Andrews. This union produced eight children. 
Mr. Johnson was a hard working man. He was formerly employed as an 
insurance agent and District Insurance Manager at Wisconsin National 
Insurance Company. He was such a hard working insurance agent that he 
earned a trip to Hawaii. He was further employed by the Richmond County 
Board of Education and retired from the Augusta Country Club after many 
years of dedicated service. 
Mr. Johnson enjoyed his family, golf and just being outdoors. He was a 
devoted spouse and loving father. Mr. Johnson was a master entertainer and 
always had a humorous word to share. He loved music and enjoyed playing 
the piano as his children were born.
