Norman Eugene Johnston died on February 5, 2006. Johnny was born in Long 
Beach, CA on July 26, 1925. His family moved to Bakersfield that same year. 
They lived on a farm with his mother, sister and grandparents. He attended 
Fairfax School from first through eighth grade. He then went on to East 
Bakersfield High. Since World War II was in progress, Johnny joined the United 
States Navy and spent three and one-half years on an aircraft carrier. When he 
returned from over-seas, he was stationed in Miami, Florida where he was 
assigned to the position of detector for PBS42S. He also played softball for 
the All Navy Team. In 1946, Johnny returned to Bakersfield and was employed by 
Safeway where he worked for 40 years. Johnny retired in 1987. He enjoyed 
playing golf for a while but felt the need to be useful. He then moved cars 
for the Avis Rental Company for five years. He later joined the Camellia 
Society. Johnny won several awards for his flowers and also served as 
President of that society. He then became a volunteer for the Memorial 
Hospital Auxiliary and served in the Cath Lab along with chairing Special 
Events. He was also a member of Libertas Lodge. Johnny is survived by his wife 
of 30 years, Patricia; his sister, Lavere; his sons, David Johnston and Randy 
Freeland; five grandchildren and one great-grandchild, numerous nieces and 
nephews and other extended family. Memorial services will be Friday, February 
10, 2006, at 11:00 a.m., at Calvary Bible Church, where he was a member. In 
lieu of flowers, please make a contribution to the Shriners Crippled Childrens
