He was born June 24, 1941, in Warsaw, to Joseph and Viola Fisher Johnson.
A lifetime Warsaw resident, he was a heavy equipment operator for Carey Excavating Inc. for 25 years, retiring in 2009. In earlier years, he drove semi, surviving a terrible accident requiring a very long recovery. He was mechanically inclined and was a likable person. His sister recalls him helping put up fair rides in earlier years.

Johnson, Claypool; two sisters, Lois Maxine Rockey, Warsaw, and Mildred “Midge” Pook, Jackson, Tenn.; four grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and nieces and nephews.
