Floyd Lowell Johnston, of Aaron Lane, Marble passed away on February 1, 2016 at the home of his daughter, where he had resided for the past two plus years. He was 93 years of age. Born on November 12, 1922, in Davis, West Virginia, he was the son of the late William Mason and Madeline Thomas Johnston. After graduating from high school, he served his country in the United States Navy. On Valentines Day, February 14, 1942, Lowell married the former Bessie Lois Mosher, who survives. The couple would have celebrated 74 years of marriage this year. Lowell was a devoted husband and father, always concerned and caring about his family. While working with the Nickel Plate Railroad, where he started in April, 1941, he did odd jobs to help make ends meet from pay day to pay day, such as building concrete blocks garages. He also built three houses in Conneaut and many side walks. Railroad service was learning the different trades, always bidding new jobs to learn, and then knowing all the trades of each department. Before he retired Lowell was skilled in masonry, electrical, carpentry, plumbing, wood-working, master welding (electric or oxy-acetylene). Lowell knew how to re-rail locomotives and cars and clear tracks quickly to keep the lines open. Troop trains would stop and be inspected to be sure every car was safe. Lowell was also the chief cook for the wrecking crew. He worked all three shifts, indoors or out. He worked 8 hours or more a day at his jobs, working at Pittsburgh & Conneaut Dock Company repairing lake freighters after working his Nickel Plate shift. He retired from the former Nickel Plate Railroad (now the Norfolk & Western Railroad) with 43 years of service. He was well-known from Buffalo, NY to Bellevue, OH. Lowell enjoyed round and square dancing, traveling around the country in the family's fifth-wheel camper, journeys which eventually took them to Mission TX. He also enjoyed bowling, boating, water-skiing, golf, fishing and hunting; doing all of these with his family. In 1957, they toured the western U.S. and camped in a tent, seeing bears, burros, and elk. He was a former Commodore of the Lake Erie Boat Club. In addition to his wife, Lowell is survived by his three children, Linda Jean Osterberg, and her husband David C., William "Bill" Johnston and his wife, Betsy, and Larry Lowell Johnston, and his wife Linda. Lowell is also survived by 12 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren, and 19 great-great-grandchildren. Lowell was preceded in death by his parents and a sister, Betty Jean Johnston Scoville. Arrangements are under the care of the Goble Funeral Home & Crematory in Clarion. As per Lowell's wishes, there will be no public visitation or services.
