Edwardsville |

Charles R. Johnson, 74, of Edwardsville, IL, born March 12, 1941, passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, May 17, 2015 with his loving wife and family at his side.

Charlie “Dick” attended Bethalto High School and retired from Sears Roebuck as an installation contractor.  Over the years he had the unique ability, knowledge and gift to be able to fix or repair just about anything he set his mind to, a very rare talent.  Over the years he did mechanic work, welding and did beautiful remodeling work, just a name a few. 

He was preceded in in death by his parents, Osce and Helen (nee Boyles) Johnson, two sons, Stephen and Rodney Johnson.

He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 30 years, Betty Johnson (nee Ellis); sons, Marty Johnson and wife, Christy and Rick Johnson and wife, Sandy and stepsons, John Marinko, Victor Marinko and Wife, Dara, and stepdaughter, Linda Christian and husband Fred and eight wonderful grandchildren that he was so proud of and enjoyed so much.

At his request he will be cremated and requested no memorial or visitation.  Interment will be at Rose Lawn Memory Gardens in Bethalto at a later date. 

Memorials may be made to BJC Hospice of Alton or Anderson Home Health Services.

The family wishes to thank BJC Hospice of Alton for their excellent care during this special time.

Elias, Kallal and Schaaf Funeral Home in Bethalto is in charge of arrangements.
