    Christopher Robert Johnston

    November 27, 1928 - May 31, 2020

    Christopher Robert Johnston passed away on May 31st at the age of 91. Born and raised in Iowa, he enlisted in the Marine Corp at 17 and served his country in WWII. He attended and graduated from Coe College after his service and married his college sweetheart Lydia Hill. They then moved to Ann Arbor and had three children, Chris Jr, Karen and Judy. Chris built a long and successful career in sales and was always the guy in the room who knew everyone and had a story or joke to tell. An avid golfer, he was a long time member of Barton Hills Country Club founding the annual invitational golf tournament. He later moved to Saline to get out of the city and became one of the inaugural members of Travis Pointe CC. In spite of his beloved Wolverines letting him down often, there was no bigger fan of the University of Michigan. He was a lifelong season ticket holder and a Bo Schembechler look-alike which he embraced. He lived a long and wonderful life with great friends and family adventures. He will continue to be loved and missed by many, sleep well Dad.
