Roscoe Johnson, age 76, of Amble, joined his heavenly father on Nov. 16 at his 
residence. He was born Aug. 15, 1932 in Montcalm Twp., the son of Douglas and 
Florence (Munson) Johnson. In 1950 he graduated from Greenville HS and took a 
short course at Michigan State and then went into the National Guard. He worked 
at McInerny Spring and Wire and Reynolds metals. At McInerny he had the 
nickname of Rock. He was a hobby farmer for many years and when his oldest son 
graduated he became a full time farmer, and in 1999 he was the Potato Grower of 
the year. He was a member of the Amble United Methodist Church for 54 years. 
Roscoe loved his grandchildren, playing pool and walking the Mackinaw Bridge on 
Labor Day and dancing. For the last 12 years he and his wife wintered in Apache 
Junction, Ariz. where he leaves behind many friends. 

On Feb. 21, 1953 he married the Love of his life Izola Davis, who survives. He
