Obituary of Raymond Michael Johann

Raymond M. Johann, age 71, of Washington Township, passed away at home on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. Born on March 31, 1953, he was the son of the late Arthur Charles Johann and Beatrice M. (nee Klein) Johann. He grew up in Teaneck and Saddle Brook, New Jersey, before moving to High Bridge for twelve years and eventually settling in Washington, New Jersey.

Raymond was a proud father to Renee and Janine. He cherished the time spent with his six grandchildren, who brought him immense joy and laughter.

His passion for the outdoors led him to a career as a horticulturist and landscape architect. This love for nature was also reflected in his hobbies, which included hunting, fishing, and ice fishing.

Raymond will be deeply missed by his daughters, Renee Johann and Janine Elliott, and her husband, Michael Elliott; his grandchildren, Matthew Carmine Lanci, Michael Joseph Lanci, Nicholas James Lanci, Nikolas Raymond Elliott, Clyde Presley Elliott, and Audrey Layla Elliott; his sister, Mary Scarnecchia (Richard); and his nieces and nephews, Jacqueline Wuennenberg, Eric Wuennenberg, Melissa Scarnecchia, and Evan Scarnecchia.
