Obituary
MARQUETTE - Allen H. "Al" Johnson, age 80, of Marquette, entered eternal life Tuesday morning, May 19, 2020, at the D.J. Jacobetti Home for Veterans.
Born May 9, 1940, in Marquette, a son of Kenneth and Stella (Bertucci) Johnson, Al was a lifelong Marquette resident. Following his graduation from John D. Pierce High School in 1958, Al joined the US Air Force, serving from 1958 until his honorable discharge in 1962. Returning home, he was employed as a salesman with Montgomery Ward for a time. He relocated to Chicago where he worked in aircraft parts and supply with Braniff Airlines for four years. In 1975, he came back to Marquette and resumed employment with Montgomery Ward before he began a long career with Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company as a miner, working at both the Empire and Tilden mines. Al retired in 2002. He was a member of Richard Jopling Post 44 of the American Legion and the VASA Lodge. Al's favorite past time was just putzing around with whatever was occurring at the moment.
Survivors include a brother, Richard (Phyllis) Johnson of Sun City, AZ; and sister-in-law, Sally Johnson of Harvey; several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; and a brother, Gerald Johnson on April 25.
Honoring Al's request, no services will be scheduled.
Interment will be made in the Holy Cross Cemetery.

I'm a Christian, and I'm a daughter of Allan B. Holbrook, now in heaven. My married name is Debby Stevens. My parents, Allan and Marie, were devout Christians, and had 10 children. They were both school teachers, but Mom quit teaching at public school after marriage. But both Mom and Dad home-schooled us all - starting when I was in 1st grade - that's when they came to the decision to home-school us.
Dad earned an income through being an English teacher here in Traverse City, for man years.
Dad started some Bible meetings that took place in the homes of friends of ours and in our own. He was the main teacher in it, and it was in a discoursing style - he would talk about spiritual things with the fathers of the families, each time, and all the children of the families would sit and listen to it all.
