Larry C. Johnson

Larry C. Johnson, 75, died peacefully on November 15, 2024 at BayPointe Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Brockton. He was the beloved husband of over 45 years of Sharon Chandler Johnson. Born in Boston, Larry was raised and educated in Boston and was a graduate of Canton High School Class of 1967. He attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and his love of art developed into a passion for Cartooning. His cartooning talents led him to a longtime career as a Sports Editorial Cartoonist at the Boston Globe, ESPN.com Quickie Page, WEEI.com and the National Sports Daily. Larry was fortunate to cover all of Boston’s sports teams and his works were insightful, humorous, were nationally recognized and enjoyed. He also was the cohost of “Mustard and Johnson”, a staple of Boston weekend sports talk on WEEI for many years. He retired 5 years ago. Larry was presently a resident of Canton  after previously living in Stoughton for many years.

Larry’s family were his pride and joy. He was a dedicated and loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather who loved spending time with his wife, children and his beloved grandchildren. He enjoyed family gatherings, fine art, walking his dog, a new word a week, traveling and volunteering as a youth minister and evangelist.

In addition to his loving wife Sharon, he is survived by his step father, Roland Lovett of MD, his children, Nicole Townes and her husband Peter of VA and Larry C. B. Johnson and his wife Glenda of Randolph. He was the beloved grandfather of Brandon, Brooke, Israel, Sage and Eric and was the great grandfather of Bruce, Stephen and Brooklyn. Larry was the brother of Lorraine Johnson-Graham of NC, Darryl Lovett of MD, Ralph Lovett of MA and sister in law, Jill Chandler of MA.  He is also survived by his goddaughter Philana Fowler Crook. He was predeceased by his parents, Jacqueline Williams Lovett and Leonard C. Johnson, and his brother Leonard C. Johnson, Jr. He is survived by several nieces and nephews.
