Bobby R. Johns, age 85, husband of the late Patricia A. (Smith) Johns of Royersford, PA, passed away on Saturday, September 9, 2023 at home. Born on October 20, 1937 in Clifton Forge, VA, he was a son of the late Teddy and Ethel (Braham) Johns.
Mr. Johns was a 1958 graduate of Eagle Rock High School in Eagle Rock, VA. He worked for 27 years at Matlack, Inc., followed by RCC Communications and John Wensel's Truck and Repair Shop.
Although Mr. Johns worked as a dry bulk truck driver by trade, he also loved just taking a drive and oftentimes took road trips for fun. He most enjoyed the trips back to his hometown in Virginia, where he looked forward to his yearly class reunions. He also liked to make stops at car lots and look at trucks for sale. He was a fan of watching western movies. Affectionately, he was very attentive to details, was set in his ways, and liked when things were accomplished in a particular manner.
