Arnold (Punky) Leroy Johnson, son of Hilmer and Alice (Genung) Johnson, was born on May 9, 1950, in Glenwood, MN.  He grew up in Glenwood and was a graduate of Glenwood High School.  On March 30, 1974, he entered the US Navy and served until his honorable discharge on April 26, 1977. Arnold could carry on a conversation with anyone.  He was employed as a semi-truck driver, delivering goods all over the continental United States.  He also owned and operated a canvas repair business out of Detroit Lakes and St. Cloud, MN. Arnold was proud of his Chippewa heritage.  He thoroughly enjoyed camping, boating, fishing, reading, and was a big John Wayne fan.  His family is comforted by the fact that he recently spoke of having "gotten to do everything he ever wanted to do in his lifetime."
