BERLIN - Robert A. "Bob" Johnson, 55, of Berlin died Tuesday, Dec. 28, 2010, at the Central Vermont Hospital. He was born in Montpelier, the son of Charles and Clarice (Plummer) Johnson and attended Montpelier Public Schools graduating in 1973. Bob previously worked for Chittenden Bank and National Life Insurance Company. Most recently he co-owned RAJ Antiques with his wife Tammy Simon and worked for long-time friends Richard and Barbara Woodard at Sir Richard's Antique Shop in Waterbury Center. When he was not reading, listening to music or doing crossword puzzles, he could be found making bread or pickling dilly beans with his mother-in-law "Gram Bea" Tracy-Brown. In the summers you would always find him at the barn, riding or caring for his horse High Five Lady, an American quarter horse, in the garden tending his vegetables or in a hay field from Northfield to Chelsea helping to get in hay. Always the first to lend a hand. Bob you will be missed.
