Born on December 28th 1939 in Washington NJ, he was the youngest son of the late Norman and Alice Johnson. Louis spent his early years in Washington before relocating with his family to Philipsburg NJ in 1952.
In 1960, Louis entered the United States Air Force, proudly serving his country for eight years and achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant. He met the love of his life MaryAnn (Lemmo) Johnson and married in 1972. They moved to Las Vegas in 1974, where he worked as a mechanic for a decade. In 1984, he began his career as a corrections officer with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, retiring in 1997. Louis and MaryAnn later settled in Womelsdorf PA to be closer to his grandchildren.
Louis was a member of Heritage United Methodist Church in Las Vegas. He had many passions throughout his life, including trains—especially those of the Jersey Central line—woodworking, M*A*S*H, gambling, building and framing intricate puzzles.
