The late Calsey Willmore Johnson wasn’t only a journalist but a professional in every which way. A media expert, a committed family man; a child of the Lord Jesus Christ; parliamentarian, diplomat, his excellence will be remembered for ions to come. In the early 70’s Mr Johnson along with Charles Carter, former FNM Senator Mike Smith bombarded the air waves with good news, programmes and melodious sounds. As time progressed and others, including Wendal Jones, Darold Miller, Fred Mitchell, Chrissy Love, Obie Wilchcombe, etc, joined the ranks.

Additionally, after leaving ZNS Calsey entered the political arena as an executive and a senator within the PLP ranks.

Calsey appeared on many talk shows over the years. Johnson had an infectious personality and every talk show host booked him to add his two cents on issues of the day at that moment.

Well done Mr Calsey Johnson, condolences are extended to his wife Dulcena Johnson and the immediate family; to God be the glory, great things he hath done. Calsey is spending his 83rd birthday in heaven. Gone, but definitely not forgotten.

It could have soon been expected, but news of Johnson’s passing shocked the nation and struck a great blow. Johnson played a major part in things when the ZNS facility was unveiled later on.

He was a faithful soldier and trusted enough to have a 14 year managerial span. Gone, but not forgotten.
