Bruce W. Johnson ’52

Bruce died March 18, 2016, in Hyannis Port, Mass.

He graduated from Columbus Academy, joined Tiger Inn, worked on the advertising staff of the Nassau Sovereign, and sang in the Glee Club. He roomed with Lovett Baker and Bob Johnston.

These interests persisted through his life and work at advertising agencies and in his involvement with amateur singing groups and at his Episcopal church.

His service in the Navy was marked by a large role in the building of a supply depot for the Pacific fleet in the Philippines. He credited that experience for his decision to enter Harvard Business School, class of ’58.

Bruce is survived by his wife of 39 years, Denise Thorne Johnson; their son, Nicholas; three children from his first marriage, Sarah Marcum, Bruce Johnson, and Meg Maloney; and six grandchildren.
