JOHNSON, John, 77, of Myrtle Beach, S.C., died peacefully at home June 29, 2019. Friends would recognize him best as "Jack", "Jackmo", "Big Jack", or "Mr. J".

He joined the U.S. Navy where he proudly was part of the UDT and served upon the submarine USS Torsk (SS-423). After the service, he married Carol Ann Kibiger on Oct. 3, 1964. Jackmo worked for Scott Paper and Sappi for 27 and a half years before retiring in May 2001. He was a proud member and past Elk of the year of the Madison/Skowhegan Elks Lodge 2531. Jack is survived by his wife, Carol Johnson; his three sons, John Johnson Jr. and wife, Marie, Brian Johnson and wife, Stephanie, Duke Johnson and wife, Christy; and proud "Poppy" to four grandchildren.
