Johnson, Paul Dewey, 78, of Oregonia, OH went to be with his Lord and Savior on Monday, February 6, 2023.  Born February 6, 1945 in Watertown, MN to Russell and Grace (nee: McCann) Johnson, Paul grew up farming alongside his father and siblings, which instilled a strong work ethic that he carried with him throughout his life.  He was graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in soil and water conservation, and served his country in Vietnam as a pilot in the United States Air Force.  Paul married his loving wife Laurie on June 15, 1974, and they enjoyed a faith-filled, God-honoring marriage of 48 years.  Paul flew for Delta Airlines from 1972 until his retirement in 2003.  He was a member of the Countryside Church of the Nazarene and was actively involved in Psalm One Ministries in Oregonia, OH.  Paul built his life upon the Cornerstone, Jesus, and his faith was an example to all who knew him.  His humility, wisdom, dry humor and quiet nature endeared him to many.
