Johnson and wife, Joyce, have been married for 58 years and have two children. One of his great-grandchildren is named Hunter Johnson. “I took his father on a safari in Africa when he was 11 years old,” the elder Johnson explains.

An avid hunter and fisherman, his love of the former has taken Johnson to such remote locales as Ethiopia, Romania, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Argentina. His favorite game has been cape buffalo in Africa, which he says are most challenging. Deep sea fishing is a second love, and he enjoys angling for yellow tail snapper, billfish, marlin and swordfish.
