Paul Johnston died peacefully September 10, 2005 at age 84 in Seattle of pneumonia and complications from Alzheimer's disease. Born March 30, 1921 in Page County, Iowa to Leo and Florence Johnston, he was known throughout his life as a kind and honest gentleman.

After serving in the Navy during World War II, he earned a doctor of chiropractic degree in 1952 from Los Angeles College of Chiropractic and began practicing in California. He moved to Seattle several years later and opened the West Seattle Chiropractic Clinic in 1966, practicing there until his retirement in 1984. A fifty-year member of Lion's Club and active member at Unity Church, he volunteered much of his time to charitable causes after retiring.

He is survived by siblings Robert, Donald, Margaret and Mary Lou; a son, Scott; and a granddaughter, Jane. A celebration of his life will be held in the chapel at Seattle Unity Church, 200 Eighth Ave North, Seattle on Saturday, September 24 at 3 p.m.
