Robert Lamar Johnson February 6, 1948 - June 8, 2023

Mr. Robert Lamar Johnson, AKA "Bobby", son of Ms. Maggie Lavern Johnson and Robert Simms.  He was born in Meridian, Mississippi on February 6, 1948.  He departed this life on June 8, 2023 in Cincinnati, Ohio.

At 17 years old, Robert enrolled in a trade school for welding at Job Corps. In his later years, he pursued a career in construction that continued for three decades within the tri-state area.  As far as hobbies, Robert was known as a music connoisseur, and an admirable cook, who also grew his own fruits and vegetables.  Robert also enjoyed being outdoors, especially when riding his bike.  Anyone that knew Robert personally, also knew that he was a huge fan of old western films.

His favorite quote was, " I ain't got no nickel in that quarter."

His memory will always be cherished by his loving family: children, Rica Johnson, LaMara Conley (Christopher Conley), and Kakki Sims; his five grandchildren and their significant others; seven great-grandchildren; his three sisters, Barbara Terrell (Arthur Warren), Janice Berry (Abdul Berry), Angela Terrell and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and acquaintances.
