The obituary notice of Brian Frederick JOHNSON

Hi Brian,
You were my 1st ever Manager at leaving school, I remember arriving for my interview at Sevenoaks Motors 16 yrs old and very nervous, but you soon put me at ease and took me on as an Apprentice, from which I had a 50 yr career in the Motor Trade. I’ll never forget a lot of things you taught me as a kid, and having you as a mentor/manager was the best start I could have wished for, incredibly skilled and knowledgeable Man you were. We had a good few disagreements (mainly over me skiving off college) for which you stopped me the whole days pay every week.. but you was a great people person, and earned respect which I certainly always had for you. Thank you Mr Johnson, for giving me that opportunity, for being a great mentor and bringing out the best in me. I’ve never forgotten you, never will.. I’m sad to hear of your passing but can see by the messages on here that you had a great time..
My very heartfelt regards..
Alex Tripp.

Hello Brian
Very sad to hear of your passing.
You trained me and showed me your skills and inspired me when we worked at sevenoaks motors Fiat Lancia and Mercedes together.I will always remember you ,as I was an apprentice motor technician under your wing.
Thanks very much for everything you done to help me through my apprenticeship.
RIP
Russell Willis.

A much loved father-in-law, very ingenious & accomplished,
who could put his hand to just about anything.
He built us a fabulous rabbit 🐇 ‘mansion’ and marvellous duck 🦆 ‘palace’!!
and was always willing to lend a hand on his many stays with us.

Lately he even started baking pretty good cakes 🍰 (yummy),
and once also put the ‘icing on the top’!! - (all for Sue)
albeit with reticence (I think he was expecting me to do it!)
but I had great fun encouraging and helping him do it ‘all by himself’!!

I have fond memories of dancing the night away with him
& our many quite in-depth chats.
Definitely a ‘Can Can’ man, especially when dressed as a Woman!!

I loved him dearly and will miss him loads. - 💖 Bea X

My Grandad was such an amazing man. He lived a life full of adventures and great memories ones i can only hope to be able to pass on. As I child I remember him and dot coming over and every morning I would get up make squeaking noises outside the bedroom and climb into bed for a cuddle! I am so glad I got to have a relationship as a child and a young adult and can only hope to live a life as good as him. Sail the clouds in a better place, I love you and you will be truely missed by everyone.

Brian took me in as a member of his family at an important young age and gave me support and wisdom when needed as well as great memories and fun. Rest in peace. Iwan

I only met Brian a handfull of times but in those times i saw a hard working man who said what he thought, which is refreshing. I saw saw him more in later life and became aware that he had many tallents, and loved his sailing.
Love to his family and friends.
Rest now Brian
