Statement From The Family Of Peter Johnson
It is with great sadness that the Johnson family share the news that Peter Johnson has today passed away at the age of 84.
Peter died peacefully surrounded by his partner, Mel, and daughters, Susie, Kate and Charlotte.
A devoted father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Peter was the centre of our world and always happiest when surrounded by his friends and relatives.
His impact though spread much further than his family, with his charitable work at home, through the Johnson Foundation, benefitting thousands of people throughout the Liverpool City Region and raising more than £10m for local causes.
He was also proud of his achievements in the business world where he established and turned a hamper company into Park Group PLC and also spent time as owner and chairman of both Tranmere Rovers and Everton football clubs. At Tranmere he guided the Club from Division Four to Division Two and the brink of the Premier League along with five trips to Wembley Stadium, while at Everton he proudly watched the Club win the FA Cup in 1995.
He will be hugely missed by the entire family and we will be forever grateful to have had him in our lives
