Bobby was born on August 22,1943, in Dallas County, TX to Joe Johnson and Juanita (Carter) Johnson.

He owned a tackle store in San Antonio, was a professional bass fisherman with Team Daiwa, and was a factory representative to Bass Pro Shops for 20 years for many well-known brands.

Bobby loved to make people laugh and had a generous heart. If you needed it and he had it, it was yours.
