Jeff Johnson
October 3, 1943 - August 17, 2009
Jeff Johnson, the nicest guy you ever met, lost his battle with cancer
on August 17, 2009. Jeff had a way of making everyone feel special.
He remained positive and active long into his illness. We have lost a
great friend.
Jeff Johnson was a devoted husband and father. He and Patti raised
three exemplary sons who have also built loving families and who help
to make the North Shore and the world a better place to live. Jeff
was one of the pioneering, modern-day watermen on the North Shore. He
was a craftsman and successful contractor.
Keep the North Shore Country would not have been created without
Jeff's commitment to preserving the North Shore. His wise counsel as
Vice President and Director will be sorely missed.
Please join us in honoring Jeff's life with a Paddle Out from Ehukai
Beach Park on Sunday, August 30th at 9:30 a.m.

Jeff Johnson - October 3, 1943 - August 17, 2009.
Sadly I heard the news from one of the North Shore lifeguards that
Jeff Johnson had lost his battle with cancer. "Jeff Johnson was a
devoted husband and father. He and Patti raised three exemplary sons
who have also built loving families and who help to make the North
Shore and the world a better place to live. Jeff was one of the
pioneering, modern-day waterman on the North Shore. He was a
craftsman and successful contractor." - Lucky Cole. "The last time I
saw Jeff was this past Spring, he was surfing in front of his house on
the North Shore with two of his boys. I want to express my
condolences to his family and thank him for his work in helping to
Keep the Country, Country! May you catch lots of glassy waves in
heaven!"
RIP: Jeff Johnson, Founder and Soul of Keep the North Shore Country,
Passes at 65
