Marvin Paul Johnson, 74, of Lincoln, formerly of

Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital surrounded by his
loving family.

Marvin was born July 13, 1942, in Lincoln, the son

member. He enjoyed fishing, camping, vacation,
traveling in the car, AJ Foyt racing, and never

Marvin's greatest joy was his family. His love,
laugh, stories, and chocolate treats will be missed
by all who knew and loved him. |
