Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Requiesce in pace. Anna Garcia

We are so sad to hear that Mr. Burns has passed. Mr. Burns was one of a kind; he was vigorous, playful, witty, and serious all at the same time. We so much enjoyed visiting with him whenever we could bring our children to his office on Princess St. We will miss him dearly, even though we didn't have a chance to see him recently. Anyone that ever knew Mr. Burns will completely understand how much he will truly be missed. We send our condolences to his family and we wish we could have been at...

John was a mentor of mine back at the Daily News in 1980. We later crossed paths a time or two as lawyers. He was a smart man and a gentle soul. I am sorry to learn of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

"Order out of Chaos". I heard John say that many times. He was solution oriented and kind in every case I had against him. I appreciated his humor. The legal community will miss him.

A true Southern Gentleman so very kind hearted and soft spoken. He always showed respect to everyone. He will be missed.

Sending thoughts and prayers to family. John was a classmate from class if 1964

John was an amazing attorney. He was quiet but strong and fierce in his representation and served his clients with honor and respectability. I enjoyed having cases with John and the legal community shall miss him and his contributions.

John was the true definition of a gentleman and a scholar. It was my pleasure to work with him during his legal profession. He was always kind and handled cases in a civil matter. I am so sorry for your loss. Your family will continue to be in my prayers.
