ROBERT E. JOHNSON12/31/1944 - 12/24/2002

The Robert E. Johnson Memorial Scholarship Fund was established by Citizens Bank & Trust Company as a lasting legacy to our friend and colleague, Bob Johnson, who passed away on December 24, 2002.

Bob, as an individual and as Senior Vice President of Citizens Bank & Trust Company, demonstrated a unique and highly regarded combination of ethics and leadership abilities. For his co-workers, Bob was a daily role model of core values: patience, integrity, empathy, respect, diligence, and hard work.
