Bob passed away on March 30, 2023. He was born in Dallas County on March 27, 1931, to James Russell and Minnie Margaret (Finklea) Johnson. Bob grew up loving the outdoors, dairy farming and cows. Bob soon met the love of his life in Judi who he married on June 2, 1966, and shared 56 wonderful years together. A typical day for Bob revolved around the farm and the cows that he loved. He enjoyed old time country music and spending time with his family. When someone did something silly or made a mistake, Bob had a saying of “STUPE!” they all knew and expected. Bob honorably served Van Zandt County as the District Clerk from 1963 to 1978. Later in life, Bob enjoyed spending his mornings at the Martin’s Mill store drinking coffee every morning and talking politics with his friends, then going to the Ben Wheeler store and starting the process all over again.
Bob is survived by his caring wife, Judi Johnson; daughters: Tina Wycough and husband Don, Kathy O’Neill and husband Jim, Kimberly Johnson; grandchildren: Magee Burns and wife Karen, Jared Johnson and wife Paige, Josh Wycough and wife Lindsey, Lauren Campbell and husband Blake, Kevyn O’Neill and wife Haley, Taylor O’Neill and wife Brooke, Jason O’Neill and wife Kasha, Carson O’Neill and wife Samantha, Andrew O’Neill and wife Jessica; 26 great grandchildren; 1 great-great grandchild.
