Walter Johnson Jr.

September 15, 1938 — June 12, 2025

Pocatello

I went in the United States Air Force on 8 August 1957. Retired 1 March 1978.

I was stationed in the Philippines, Korea, Okinawa twice, and three tours in Vietnam. Numerous bases in the United States.

I have 2 daughters, Shannon and Tonya. They blessed me with 5 grandchildren and great-grand children.

I love to dance, gamble, and make people laugh.

Oh, did I tell you I like to dance? - oh, also I loved the ladies.

Good bye all, may God Bless you all.

-Walt
