LARGER THAN LIFE describes the Bob Johnson we know. Bob LIT UP A ROOM with his presence and his LAUGHTER, always abundant and contagious. Bob's deep LOVE and LOYALTY to his FAMILY and FRIENDS and his many varied interests were very evident. Bob's ability to be MAN IN CHARGE and yet playful and goofy on occasion showed the dimension of his personality. THANKS, Bob, for sharing ALL of you to those who know you.We will always smile when we have thughts of you and your dear family. WELL DONE!
We are comforted knowing YOU are Under HIS Wing.
LOVE from Mike and Randy Monsegur and Missy, Mitchell, and Marty

Uncle Bob, you were one-of-a-kind. I'm honored to have been your niece. Thank you for a lifetime of memories. I'm glad to have been part of some of your projects, from Harbor Freight runs to the train, and the skits. You will be sorely missed. Love you Uncle Bob, we'll remember you always.

Bob, you married our sister in 1963. Our family has never been the same (in a good way). We have so much to thank you for. Most of all, the laughter we have had thru the years. You and Kutz had a fun marriage and you have raised three great kids. Well done! You will never be forgotten.

Bob was so much fun to be around. He always made you feel good with his sense of humor and his love for his family was very oblivious to all of us. He was a good man who will be missed
