Larry L. Johnson

Johnson in Muncie, graduating from Muncie Central High School in 1955. He honorably served his country in the United States Army as a Combat Engineer, discharged in 1956. He married the love of his life Flora Buck in 1957 and they remained married until her passing in 2014. He was a proud local 662 union member retiring after 26 years at Delco-Remy in Anderson. He was a woodworker and enjoyed crossword puzzles to keep his mind sharp.

Larry loved his family, being a great husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. His love for the Lord was evident as he made Christian music tracts to share and planted the seeds of faith to all he met. His church was a driving force in his life being a member of True Light Baptist and a former member of the Full Gospel Temple.
