FORT HALL — Fort Hall Recreation maintenance engineer Bob Johnson retired September 16, after 30 years on the job.
Recreation staff hosted a party in his honor September 17 where people ate, visited, expressed appreciation about working with him and wished him the best.
Bob said it felt like it was time. He’s taken care of Timbee Hall for that long, took care of maintenance on the softball field and served somewhat of a counselor to the many kids that considered “the gym” their second home. He talked to many people about their sobriety, about their life. He gave points of view they don’t look at sometimes. He’d encourage them to look at their families, the people that love and cherish them. (cont.)
