ROBERT JOHNSON

April 15, 1929 - March 8, 2017

Dallas - Robert A. Johnson passed away March 8, 2017 in Dallas, OR.

Bob was born April 15, 1929 in Superior, Wisconsin to Arthur and Agnes Johnson.

Bob was a tremendous help to me in teaching me about forestry, logging, log purchasing and timber sales. He was very conscientious and always willing help wherever he could.
