WILLIAM ERWIN BRAUNS MCMINNVILLE, TN- Mr. William Erwin Brauns formerly of Greensboro, N.C. and a current resident of McMinnville, TN, passed away suddenly Saturday, September 5, 2009 in Floyd, VA. Mr. Brauns was born in Passaic, NJ on September 6, 1939 to parents Herman and Grace Brauns. The family moved to Greensboro, NC in the early 1950's where Bill graduated from Greensboro High School (Grimsley) in 1957. He went on to graduate from Campbell College in 1959 with an associate degree in business. Bill began his career in Insurance working for Amica Insurance Co. in Patterson, NJ. Once he returned to Greensboro he worked for Pilot Fire and Casualty and in 1968 began a 30 year career with Shelby Mutual Insurance Co. After a brief retirement he worked for Auto Owners Insurance in Atlanta, GA and then returned to Greensboro to work for Penn National for several more years before permanently retiring. In the early 1970's Bill along with two friends combined their love and work and the outdoors and opened a small company called "Pack and Paddle" in Kernersville, NC, which sold camping and canoeing equipment. He loved the outdoors, whether it was hunting, fishing, hiking, walking, wild flowering or traveling the world. "Poppy" as we liked to call him, loved his family the most. He loved playing trains with his grandsons and taking his granddaughter bowling. He reveled in "adventures," as he called them, with the children as well as teaching them to ride bikes and mini-bikes, to swim and fish, or anything else he felt they needed to learn. He instilled a sense of adventure, wonder, enthusiasm and joy in his grandchildren, as he was still a child at heart himself and he enjoyed it as much as they did. His sense of humor was priceless and he was always there to lend a helping hand to those who needed it-friends, family or co-workers. His was deeply loved and will be truly missed by those whose lives he touched. His legacy of a zest for life will live on in the family he has left behind, which include a daughter, Michelle Brauns Iocona, a son, William David Brauns, former wife, Cameron W. Brauns, grandchildren, Grace, Ethan, and Nate Iocona, Christopher and Cassidy Brauns and Dustin, Sierra, Andrew, and Rachel Brauns.

JOHNSTON, Robert G., of Richmond, passed away on September 15, 2009. Born in 1922, in Sharon, Pa., Bob lived most of his life in Richmond. Bob was a veteran of World War II, serving in the Army Air Corps in France. He met his wife, the late Shirley Culbreth, at the USO in Florence, S.C. Bob was an accountant with several truck leasing companies, but his life bloomed in retirement when he could pursue his passions for gardening and gadgetry. He and Shirley annually expanded the variety of flowers and vegetables in their back yard. In his well used garage, he fixed everything that ever broke in the house or on the car. He built make-shift boats, hot-air balloons launched on the Fourth of July, a lawn-mowing ghost for Halloween, and small rockets launched to the delight of his grandchildren. For more than 50 years Bob was a member of St. Giles Presbyterian Church, where he taught Sunday School and served as Deacon for several years. His faith sustained him following the death of his beloved Shirley in 2003, and he treasured the loving support of his St. Giles friends. Bob's greatest accomplishment was as the loving father of five children, 12 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. He is survived by his children, Pamela Johnston of Huntington, N.Y., Elizabeth Snyder of Havertown, Pa., Martha Shotwell of Glen Allen, Robert Johnston Jr. of Vallejo, Calif., and Ann Winton of Charleston, W.Va.

He moved to Fauquier County at the age of twelve, became deep rooted and loved this area. He worked for Warrenton Wholesale as a teenager, then for VA Department of Transportation as an electrician. Greg started his 20+ year with the Warrenton Training Center in 1986, where he forged many long-lasting friendships. Greg's passion for hunting took him to many places such as Canada, Wyoming, Montana, Texas, Florida, and his all-time favorite, Africa. He kept journals of all his hunting experiences and hoped to write a book in his retirement. His artistic ability and the love of the sport led him into the field of taxidermy where he could express himself and create life-like mounts of the animals he loved and respected. Two years ago, Greg succumbed to the addiction and evils of alcoholism. It was painful as his family and friends watched his rapid demise. Despite the turmoil of the last two years, his family and friends have years of great memories of awesome times with Greg. He was a good son, a great husband and a wonderful father. He is forever in our hearts and will truly be missed. God rest his soul.
