Samuel Johnson, 90, a respected Barbers Hill maintenance and transportation director in the 1970s, passed away on March 27.

Funeral services for the Mont Belvieu resident were held on March 31 at Navarre Funeral Home, and interment followed at Cedarcrest Cemetery in Baytown.

“He was a very active, intelligent 90-year young man who loved Barbers Hill,” said Superintendent Dr. Greg Poole. “You would not have known he was 90.”

One of Johnson’s granddaughters worked as a Barbers Hill bus driver as well, Poole added.

At Barbers Hill, Johnson was remembered for his mechanical acumen, someone who was able to fix anything that broke in the district.

After his time at Barbers Hill ISD, Johnson worked for and retired from Letsos Company in Houston. Johnson loved and enjoyed fishing.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 51 years, Loretta Johnson; son, David Williams; and grandson, Terry Johnson.

Barbers Hill trustees Benny May, who was a longtime neighbor of Johnson’s, served as a pallbearer.
