Johanson, 54, was the second assistant store man- ger here from 1983 to 1985. He then moved to the Safe-_ way in Prince Rupert for a— short time but returned in 1986 to be the company’s store manager here. He left for a position in Victoria at the end of 1994. - While in Terrace, Jo- ’ hanson was known for his strong support of commu- “nity projects. That included ‘helping with Juanita Hatton’s Christ- mas food hamper. program until she passed away in the early 1990s. Yvonne Moen said Johan- ‘son, an early Terrace Beau- tification Society volunteer, . was among a key group of . supporters both through his. store and personally. “He was very gener- ous with his support,” said -Moen. “When he came. to Terrace, he went out there and did what he had to do.” George Clark, ‘another ‘early volunteer with the beautification |. society, echoed Moen’s remarks. “He was there first with Safeway — Safeway was a fantastic corporate booster, . and then personally. He may Have worked for a major corporation, but he had a real small business attitude,” said Clark of Johanson, Johanson was also in- volved with the Miss Terrace pageant when it was operat- ing during his time here. _ Johanson was born and educated in Powell: River, and started working for Safe- way there. It’s also where he met his wife, Janie. They had a.son, Craig, and a daughter, Dana and, in the past year, became grand- _ parents when Nicholas was born. Johanson was most re- cently the manager of the Safeway store in Sidney on ~ Vancouver Island. He re- ceived his 35-year service pin from Safeway in the past year.
