Bark River Township has received a donation of $10,000 in memory of Gregg Johnson from Al and Sandy Bloniarz, the daughter of the late Gregg Johnson. Johnson served as the Bark River Township supervisor for an impressive 44 years. In addition to the personal contribution, Systems Control, Al Bloniarz’s employer, has partnered with the Hubbell Foundation to match the donation — a total contribution of $20,000 to the township. Current Township Supervisor Matt Hanson remarked, “Gregg Johnson as an exceptionally dedicated resident and a true example of public sevice to the Bark River community.
