UNITY – Bruce Alan Johnson, 77, of Unity and Orland, passed away peacefully at the lake on Thursday, Sept. 11, 2025. He was born in Wales, the eldest child of Alice and Ronald Johnson.
Bruce graduated from the University of Maine, Orono and dedicated more than 45 years to education as a passionate teacher and administrator. He shared his love of science and robotics with generations of students.
An avid outdoorsman, Bruce found joy in hiking, hunting, boating, and fishing with his grandkids at the lake. He also loved playing cards with his family and friends, creating memories filled with laughter.
Bruce will be deeply missed by his college sweetheart and wife of 53 years, Janice Mallett Johnson, his son Aaron Johnson and his wife Elaine of New Hampshire, his daughter Sarah Braddock “Pooh” and her husband Shane of California, and in Bruce’s own words “Five of the best grandchildren a Grampy could have”: Ayden and Joseph Johnson, and Elliott, Mira and Archer Braddock.
He will forever be remembered for his wit, warmth, kindness, and the countless lives he touched.
