To the Family of John:

I had the pleasure of knowing John. I also worked for Merced County. John & I chatted many, many times and had fun laughing and joking with each other. He always had a big smile. John was a very kind and humble gentleman. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. John, now you can rest in the arms of the Lord.
