Jerry died Feb. 24, 2007, in Washington, N.C., after a brief illness.

Born in Galesburg, Ill., he was the only child of Phillip and Ruth Johnson. He attended St. Bonaventure’s College in St. John’s, Newfoundland. At Princeton he was in the mechanical-engineering program, on the 150-pound crew, and a member of the Outing Club and Army ROTC. A member of Tower Club, Jerry roomed senior year with Bill Hendricks and John Fenlon.

After receiving an MBA from Harvard, Jerry served with the 101st Airborne Division. He remained in the Army Reserve for 30 years, retiring in 1985 as a colonel. His business career was in banking, mostly with Chase Manhattan, where he was an expert in the metals and mining industry.

Jerry was an avid sailor. He was commander of the Coast Guard Auxiliary in Washington, N.C., and a founding member of the Pamlico Sail Power Squadron.

Jerry is survived by Anne Mahoney Johnson, his wife of more than 30 years; Gregory and Charles, his sons from a previous marriage; and five grandchildren. To all of them, the class extends deepest sympathy.
