    • Wayne J. Johnston, 88, of North Creek died 12:10 a.m. Thursday, January 6, 2011 at his residence following a long battle with cancer. He was born February 19, 1922 in North Creek to the late Cash and Rachel (Shoemaker) Johnston. On April 27, 1941 he married Lenore Schafer, who survives in North Creek.

      Also surviving are his two daughters: Mary Jane (Don) Irvin of Elida and Carole Ann (Jim) Zachrich of North Creek; four grandsons: Jeff (Karen) Irvin of Holland, MI, Jerry (Toni) Irvin of Marion, OH, Bob (Betty Jo) Zachrich of London, OH, and Mike (Tiffany) Zachrich of Continental, OH; and ten great-grandchildren: Jason, Sam, Caleb and Elizabeth Irvin of Holland, MI, Ashley and Hollie Irvin of Marion, OH, Brenda and Emily Zachrich of London, OH, and Sloane and Jade Zachrich of Continental, OH.

      Wayne was a 60-year member of the Continental Masonic Lodge #570 and was a Past Patron of the Continental Eastern Stars #129.
