JOHN WILLIAM JUSTICE, JR.
John William Justice, Jr. passed away on Thursday, May 14th, 2009 at First Health Moore Regional Hospital in Pinehurst, North Carolina after 6 1/2 years residence at Penick Village in Southern Pines.
He was born on November 6, 1923 in Walterboro, South Carolina to John W. Justice and Ellen Duvall Justice and raised in Cheraw, South Carolina. He graduated from Cheraw High School and attended UCLA until he served in the United States Air Force stationed in Panama. He married Anne Farish Watlington on December 8, 1951 and they raised their two children, Anne Farish Justice and John William Justice, III, in Camden and Cheraw while he was employed at Becker Sand and Gravel Company. Johnny and Farish moved to Siler City, North Carolina in 1976 where he ran Southern Stone. In 1984, he and his son purchased the company and renamed it Southern Aggregates.
Johnny was very active throughout his life in numerous church, professional, and community organizations. When he was young, and during his married years in Cheraw, he was a member of St. David's Episcopal Church. He was a vestry member of Grace Episcopal Church when they lived in Camden, and in Siler City, he was a lay reader and on the building committee for the new First United Methodist Church. He returned to his Episcopal roots when he and Farish retired to Penick Village and served as an usher for Sunday services.
He was well-respected on a national level in his industry. As a founding member of the American Pre-cast Association, he chaired many committees including convention and membership. He was very involved in the National Terrazzo and Mosaic Association and made many lifelong friends throughout the country.
Perhaps his best-loved community service was through membership in Rotary International. He received a distinguished service citation, was a Paul Harris Fellow, served as District Governor from 1990-1991 and delighted in delivering the invocation most Mondays, whether requested to or not.
His hobbies included his love of the outdoors with time spent hunting, fishing, and enjoying all water-related activities at his beloved Pawley's Island, South Carolina with his friends Edward Royall and George Pitt Lachicotte (deceased). As the unofficial ambassador of all the places he lived in and loved, he distributed hundreds of Pawley's Island rope hammocks around the country. In his later years he turned his love of cooking into creating the perfect popcorn at Penick.
In addition to his wife of 57 years, Farish Watlington Justice, he is survived by his eldest daughter, Elizabeth Carson, by a previous marriage. He is also survived by his daughter, Anne Farish Justice, his son, John William Justice, III and his wife, Donna; five grandchildren, Bill, Betsy and Nancy Hill John William Justice, IV and Samford Watlington Justice; three great-grandchildren and ten nieces and nephews. He was pre-deceased by two sisters, Edith Justice Nock and Sarah Justice Mann.
