Melvin Dale Johnson, 90, known to most as ‘Shorty’ or ‘Grandpa’ passed away peacefully in his home on Saturday, February 22nd. He spent his last moments the way he spent his entire life, surrounded by family and loved ones.
Melvin retired from Eagle-Pitcher Technologies, where he worked for over 42 years. He was a lifelong supporter of Webb City athletics and dedicated many years to coaching & umpiring youth baseball, softball, basketball & football.
