Robert "Bob" Johnson, 80, of Greenville, MI passed away on Monday, August 25th, 2025. Bob was born in Indianapolis, IN on November 5th, 1944.

Bob was the beloved son of John and Anna Johnson, who instilled in him the values of hard work and compassion. After graduating from high school, he proudly served in the United States Air Force.

Bob's greatest joy came from his family. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Patricia, and two beloved grandchildren, Ricky and Cassie. He leaves behind a legacy of love through his children: Susie (Jerry) Boler, Timmy Johnson, Steve Johnson, and Chris (Paul) Thiron. Bob was a proud grandfather to eight grandchildren, a great-grandfather to 18 great-grandchildren, and a great-great-grandfather to three great-great-grandchildren. In addition to his family, Bob cherished the companionship of his long-time friend, Richard Cook.

Throughout his career, Bob worked as a salesman in various industries, becoming known for his exceptional interpersonal skills and dedication to his work. His warm personality and genuine interest in people made him a cherished employee at Ofield Funeral Home, where he formed lasting relationships with coworkers and clients alike.

A memorial service to celebrate Bob's life will be announced at a later date.
