Edmund Johnson, a retired senior vice president of the Haley & Aldrich engineering firm of Cambridge, Mass., died Jan. 3, 2013, at the age of 83.
Johnson graduated from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering in 1951, and in 1953 received a master’s degree in civil engineering from Princeton.
He then served in the Navy’s engineering corps and was posted from Maine to Hawaii. After his Navy service he was employed by Haley & Aldrich, where he designed foundations for skyscrapers that were part of the Boston skyline. Johnson was active in the American Society of Civil Engineers and was president of its Boston branch.
A member of the Maple Street (Danvers, Mass.) Congregational Church for more than 50 years, Johnson served as a deacon and on the building committee. Proud of his Swedish heritage, he was a trustee for his local lodge of the Vasa Order of America.
Johnson is survived by Lois, his wife of 59 years; a daughter; and three grandchildren.
