Allen Johnson
d. December 25, 2016
Allen Harold Johnson, 74, of Media, PA formerly of West Chester, PA passed away on December 25, 2016.
Born in 1942 in Oak Park, IL he was the son of the late Harold Simon and Mildred Ava (nee Malmgren) Johnson. He was predeceased by his brother George Douglas Johnson. He was the loving father of Christine Patricia Stewart (and husband Jason Kyle Stewart) and Elizabeth Marie Johnson; devoted grandfather of Gillian Vera Stewart.
Raised in Elmhurst, IL, this was where he developed his love of baseball with his hometown team, the Chicago Cubs. It took a lifetime, but he finally saw them win the World Series this November in an epic series that made it worth the wait. He spent most of his career as a Professor of Geology at West Chester University, where he worked for more than 30 years. He had a love of science and natural history that he enjoyed sharing with his students and family.
Throughout most of his adult life, he maintained a hobby of breeding and raising killifish and he was a lifetime member of the Keystone Chapter of the American Killifish Association. He was a devoted member of the Advent Lutheran Church and took great pleasure in serving the church and found comfort in its community.
A memorial service will held on Saturday, January 7 at Advent Lutheran Church, 1601 Green Lane, West Chester, PA 19382. A gathering will begin at 10:30 am, with a service at 11:30 am, and a reception to follow.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the church.
