Robert Harry Johnson

Jan. 6, 1929 - March 11, 2006

Robert Harry Johnson, 77, of Stallion Springs passed away in Bakersfield on 
March 11, 2006.

Robert was born on Jan. 6, 1929 in Stockton, Calif., to LaVere and Hazel 
Johnson. At the age of 17, he joined the U.S. Navy and served his country for 
the next 23 years. He served during both the Korean War and Vietnam. He then 
went to work for the government as a vehicle supervisor, working in that 
capacity for 25 years. In 1988 he purchased property in Stallion Springs, 
moving permanently to the area in 1990 from the Torrance area where he had 
lived for the past many years.

In Tehachapi, Robert was able to put his many skills to good use. He was a 
great handyman, constantly fixing things around the house. He also enjoyed 
tinkering with his cars. Having lived all over the world during his Navy 
career, he particularly enjoyed the beauty and solitude of the Stallion 
Springs area. He was also able to put many of his military skills to use in 
the Tehachapi Search and Rescue. He was an active member for the past 15 years 
and will be greatly missed by that organization. Robert was a friendly and 
kind man who was devoted to his large extended family and to the many friends 
he had developed over the years.

Robert is survived by his wife, Betty, of Stallion Springs; sons, Wayne of 
England, Kevin of Stallion Springs, Adrian of Tennessee, and Dennis of 
Washington; daughters, Patricia of Missouri, Shannon of Michigan, and Belinda 
of California; 21 grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and sister, 
Colleen of Half Moon Bay.

Wood Family Funeral Service handled the cremation arrangements.
