William "Bill" D. Johnson

He was born October 29, 1930 in New Brockton, Alabama; son of the late Ruby and Ralph Johnson. He was married to his beloved wife, Nadine C. Johnson for over 50 years.

He was a veteran of the Korean War. After the war he pursued the trade of carpentry and went own to be a superintendent for Wright & Associates, Inc. and built many of the barricks at Fort Benning.

He loved life on the river, his garden and Biloxi.

He is survived by his two children, Clint Johnson and Keith Johnson and his two grandchildren, Will Johnson and Keeli Johnson.

He is survived by his two sisters, Sylvia Alligood and Patricia Keller (Father Terry Keller).

Bill was a hard working man who worked most weeks out of town, but when arriving home for weekends, neighborhood kids scattered and ran, even the dog retreated to the woods, but in the end, he instilled values, work ethics and raised most of them.
