He loved sports, whether attending games or watching them. It didn't matter if he knew who was playing or not. The last several years, he was a truck driving instructor and handled testing of students. From 18 wheelers to concrete and dump trucks, he spent most of his adult life behind the wheel. He definitely followed in his father's footsteps. Proceeded in death by his mom and dad, Annie Mae Johnson and Paul Johnson, along with grandparents and great grandparents on each side.
