Throughout his life, he continued his love for all sports, particularly baseball and was an avid bowler until the age of 90. A lifelong Methodist, he was a member of the First United Methodist Church, Wellington.
When a new name was sought for Wellington High School's sports teams, it was his suggestion of "Skyrockets" which was selected.
Survivors include his son, Walter Johnson of Amarillo and a grandson, Drew Johnson of Memphis, TN.
The family suggests memorials to the First United Churh or a favorite Charity.
