•RICHARD BENJAMIN JOHNSON

Richard Benjamin Johnson, 81, of Delaware, Ohio, (and formerly of Perrysburg) returned to spirit peacefully in the early morning hours of Sunday, April 21, 2024, at the Grant Medical Center in Columbus.

Born November 6, 1942, in Toledo, Richard was son to the late Edward Parker and Myla (Cobb) Johnson. Richard attended Scott High School, and would go on to receive his bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of Toledo, all leading to his proud career as a special agent with the Internal Revenue Service (Department of Treasury).

Richard honorably served in the U.S. Navy as a disbursing clerk (DK2) on the USS

Intrepid (CV-11) during the Vietnam War, and met his wife, Judy Hartenfeld, in 1972. They were legacy members of the First Congregational Church in Toledo.

Richard enjoyed golfing, playing cards, traveling, collecting Labino glass and spending time with his family. He and Judy spent most of their retirement years in Hilton Head, South Carolina, before returning to Columbus, for his last few years.

Left to cherish Richard’s memory are his loving wife of 50 years, Judy; children, Michael (Stacey), Ryan (Meghan) and Heather Johnson; grandchildren, Amanda, Olivia, Mila and Liam Richard; sister, Janice (William) Mazur, along with numerous other nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.

Memorial contributions in Richard’s honor may be addressed to Ohio Health Hospice, 800 McConnell Drive, Columbus, Ohio 43214. Private family memorial services will be held at a later date.
