Robert George "Bob" Johnson, 83, of Bryans Road, Maryland, passed away on Sunday, January 11, 2026 at the Restore Health Rehabilitation Center in White Plains.

Born on March 8, 1942 in Wilmington, Vermont, he was the son of the late Robert H. Johnson and Janice G. Johnson.

Bob served in the U. S. Air Force during Vietnam until he was honorably discharged at the rank of Airman First Class. He then joined the International Union of Elevator Constructors Local 10 as an elevator mechanic.

Bob was a member of the Perseverance Masonic Lodge Number 208 in Indian Head where he was a Master Mason. He also belonged to the VFW and the Moose Lodge. Bob enjoyed doing yard work and was an avid Washington Redskins and Washington Nationals fan. He always loved "going home" to his beloved Vermont twice a year.

In addition to his parents, Bob was preceded in death by his first wife, Cathy L. Johnson, and his second wife, Mary K. Johnson.

Bob is survived by his son, Jeffrey Johnson (Jennifer) of Suffolk, VA; grandchildren, Max Johnson (Shannon) of Castle Rock, CO and Ashlee Tibbetts (Izak) of Chesapeake, VA; great granddaughter, Magnolia; sister, Patricia Payne of Brattleboro, VT; brothers, Albert Johnson (Sharon) of Hinsdale, NH and Bill Johnson (Stephanie) of East Longmeadow, MA; and numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

A private service and interment will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Bob's name may be made to the American Cancer Society, P. O. Box 6704, Hagerstown, MD 21741.
