Bob "Robert" Johnson, 90, died June 19, 2023, at his home in Hungry Horse.

He was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on September 10, 1932, to Esther and Clifford Johnson.

In 1950, he was drafted into the Korean War.

He married LaVerne Gaulke in September of 1953 and they became parents of three sons: Clayton, Jeffery and Dion. Their home was established in Wausau, Wisconsin.

In 1973, he moved his family to the Flathead Valley and ran a gas station in Coram.

He later established his own businesses in the heart of Hungry Horse; Glacier Bed and Breakfast, and Bob's General Store and Cafe.

His passions were carpentry, hunting, fishing and having conversations with all his loyal customers. He was a hard worker and would still be in his chair running the gas station if he could be.

He is survived by his sons, Clay, Jeff (Kathy), and Dion (Val). He also leaves grandchildren, great-grandchildren and a host of family and friends who will miss him greatly.

A celebration of life will be organized at a later date this summer. Columbia Mortuary in Columbia Falls is caring for the family.
