| To quote Andy Michael, “Ray was an extraordinary man who was ‘larger than life and such a visionary.’” In the midst of our celebration, we are saddened by the loss of Ray S. Johnston. In addition to being a pillar in the local community, he has been an avid supporter of Big Brothers Big Sisters for countless years. It was easy to see Ray’s love of life just by looking at him. Johnston would want to be remembered as a philosopher and historian, but those who knew him best will remember Johnston for much more than that. He was a man who lived life to the fullest, worked hard and had a wide range of interests, from community development and travel to airplanes and golf. Johnston's commitment to the community was phenomenal, and he always wanted to help improve local government agencies and the education system. |

"He fought a good fight," said Martinsburg Chief of Police T.C. "Ted"
Anderson.
"JR will be greatly missed by this community," Anderson said. "He's the type
of police officer that garnered respect from the public because he treated
you in the proper manner. Most especially, young people in Martinsburg
are going to miss his wisdom and caring heart."

assistant firearms instructor, member of the emergency response team,
