Robert Lee Johnson

Robert Lee Johnson, the son of the late Lena Johnson and Gibb Williams,
was born in Berlin, Maryland on April 26, 1939. He transitioned to his
heavenly home on Sunday, June 20, 2021, in Wilmington, Delaware. He
was married to the late Sheila Thompson Johnson, who passed away July
29, 2016.

Robert, Rob, "Uncle Rob", as he was affectionately called by family and
friends received his formal education in the public schools of Worcester
County. He was employed for many years, and later retired, as a driver
for the State of Delaware DART Service, and was also employed at the
Greenberg Plumbing Supply Company in Wilmington, Delaware.
Robert was a member of Jehovah Tabernacle Holiness Church and was
actively involved with the activities of the church before his illness. He
loved his church family and thought it not robbery to travel down from
Wilmington to attend services.

Robert loved cars, so much so that he invested in a 1989 Rolls Royce,
which he enjoyed taking out on outings and cruising around in his stylish
attire. When he got dressed, he had to have been the sharpest-dressing
man on the planet. He loved to style, and he did it well. He cherished
family time and was looking forward to the family reunion being held this
year after it was canceled last year due to COVID.

He leaves to cherish his memories with two sons, Lee A. Haynes, Sr.
(Kathy), Delmar, Maryland; and Corey Bowers, Wilmington, Delaware.
Two daughters, Thelma Black and Tracey Black, Wilmington, Delaware.
His nieces and nephews, whom he loved dearly: Pearline, Jackie,
Delores, Joyce, and Harriet; William and Herbert; a special friend, Joyce
Brown; several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, a host of great-
nieces and great-nephews, other relatives, extended family, friends and
loved ones.

In addition to his mother, father, and wife, he was preceded in death by
two sisters, Hazel P. Briddell and Catherine M. Hudson; one son, Keith M.
Haynes, and a nephew, Sylvester "Ves" Brittingham. Previous Events
