Ronald Alfred Johnson Jr.
SCARBOROUGH – Ronald Alfred Johnson Jr. departed this life peacefully in the early hours of March 31, 2025, at the Gosnell Hospice House in Scarborough, at the age of 80.

His wife of 56 years, Joan Johnson, predeceased him.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
