Carl was born April 23, 1928, to Reuben and Ida Johnson in Chicago, Illinois, the oldest of three children and a twin. He graduated from Northwestern University. He met Mildred Marie Haglund in high school and married her in March 1951.
The foundation of Carl’s life was his faith in Jesus Christ. He was saved at a young age and his passion for Christ continued throughout his life.
After his career in finance, he worked at Kainos as a counselor to disabled adults until his retirement. His free time was spent reading his Bible, attending church and spending time with family and friends. He had a great sense of humor and told wonderful stories. He knew how to love and be loved.
Carl is survived by his four children Gayle Johnson, Rick (Carol) Johnson, Tom (Marlene) Johnson and Sue (Greg) Kopchinski, five grandchildren, three great-grandchildren; sister-in-law and nieces and nephews.
