William Arthur "Billy" Johns

Born in Cleveland, OH, son of Virginia Belle Poynter and Herbert Johns, he was a veteran who loved his country. He retired after many years of service at MetroNorth Railroad in New Haven, CT.

Billy was a likeable guy that would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. He was funny, sarcastic, a social butterfly – always had a joke or story to tell. He had a zest for life (go-kart & car racing, cross country rides on his Honda Goldwing) in his day before falling ill several years ago. He was a tough ol’ bird who fought the hard fight!

He is survived by his spouse, Luz and her mother, Cenaida Rodriguez, his children; daughters DeAnna and husband Guy Drapeau of Rocky Hill, CT. and Donna Rich of Wethersfield, CT.; son William R. and wife Ruth Johns of Indianapolis, IN; grandchildren, Jackson, Ryleigh, Elizabeth, Mark, Seth, Gracie & Mariah; sisters Nancy, Susie & Cyndi and their families; and his beloved dogs, Jasper and Sammy. He was predeceased by his parents, brother, Charlie, son Brian and grandson, Matthew.

Memorial services will be scheduled at a later date due to COVID.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his honor to the American Heart Association and/or Trinity Episcopal Church in Statesville, NC.
