He worked as an aeronautical engineer, mainly in Connecticut and New York. Upon retiring in 1978, he and his wife, Elnora, moved to St. Petersburg, Florida, and then came to Rutland in 2006.
Surviving are his wife, Elnora Johnson of Rutland; a son, Hans Johnson and wife, Carol (Carr) LaBrecque of Rutland; and a granddaughter, Kaylee Johnson of Framingham, Massachusetts.
