He was born Nov. 26, 1953, in Gadsden, Alabama, son of the late Ralph M. and Carolyn E. (Carson) Johnson. On Oct. 6, 2005, he married Dorcas L. Brumbaugh in Altoona.

Following graduation, he went on to proudly serve in the United States Army during the Gulf War. During his 13 years of active duty, Robert achieved the rank of Sergeant and was awarded the Southwest Asia Service Medal with Bronze Star, along with numerous other service medals, badges, and ribbons.

For over 35 years, Robert loved owning and operating food concessions, which allowed him to travel with his family and make new friends. His most recent food concession was “Red Bird Café.” After talking with him, you were no longer a stranger, but a friend.
