To know Tab, you knew what his passions were.
Did you say PORK? He was in a group called
“Porkers” over 30 years. Every second Saturday in
November, this group would head to North Carolina
to buy barbecue, pork loins, ribs, etc. What a time
he had.
He loved to cook when you came over. Just pull up
a chair, and you would get served, pork, fish,
chicken, whatever he had. All you had to bring was
an appetite!
He leaves to cherish his memories his devoted
wife Carolyn C. Johnson of 42 years and a faithful
son, Robert Allen Johnson, III
