Charles R. JohnsonColonel Charles "Charlie" R. Johnson passed away yesterday, 1/12/17. Charlie made an indelible mark on the Emma community in the 16 years he lived here with his wife, Trudy Hall. His steadfast character, Southern charm, and tenacious spirit made a lasting impression on everyone he met. He was a strong presence in the greater Capital Region veteran's community as well. As a proud West Point graduate and Vietnam War veteran, Charlie was an active member and former president of the Tri-County Council of Vietnam Era Veterans, American Legion Post 8444, Veterans of Lansingburgh, and the Rensselaer County Veterans Association. In 2014, he was honored as Veteran of the Year by the Association of the U.S. Army and Friends of the State Military Museum. Details on services are to come.
