About The Family & Home:

• Jack and Gay Johnson met at the Cleveland Institute of Art in the 1960’s. He was

studying Industrial Design, and she was studying Illustration. With three other friends

they formed the New Folk Five, and were part of the folk music movement that swept

the country before the British Invasion. The band eventually broke up and its members

moved on, Gay and Jack got married and spent a year traveling Europe.

Jack took a job with Alcoa in Pittsburgh, and soon after their first son was born. They

found a house in the country and moved there in 1973, and over forty years expanded

it, filled it with marvels, and turned it into a place of love, music, laughter, learning, and

art. They, their two sons, and a multitude of beloved pets thrived here.

Jack was a builder, inventor, and maker, keenly interested in history, with a deep love

for music. He hand built guitars in his spare time, and constantly strove to learn how to

play better. Gay was an artist, constantly busy with projects both for her family and for

the community. Together they were the driving force behind the Saxonburg Summer

Theater, which for nine years delighted local audiences and inspired a community of

amateur actors. They built and installed the stained glass windows at the Saxonburg

Memorial Church, and were involved with the choir.

Living in this environment, it was almost a matter of course that their sons went into the

arts as well. Both attended and graduated the Cleveland Institute of Art, just like their

parents. Barclay (a.k.a. B.J.), the eldest, is a freelance illustrator, Tucker, their

youngest, is an industrial designer with a talented writer for a wife and two precocious

children. Unique creations by all the members of the Johnson family fill the house.

Sadly, Jack passed away in 2015, and Gay, who had long been declining due to

dementia, moved into senior care at Saxony Health Center in Saxonburg this year.

Their sons are doing what they can to make sure that all the accumulated treasures at

the house in the country on Cannon Hill Road find good homes, so that people might

remember fondly what was here even as it fades away into the past.
