Not sure what to say?

I knew John from our days at The university of Iowa, when we were on the same football team. We kept in touch when I was assigned to work in D.C with the Secret Service. John was a mentor and a person who you could talk and laugh with and who grew up the same way I did. To his family, my heart felt condolences and he will be missed. Donald Tucker

Heartfelt condolences to a pioneer who helped so many of us. We walked in the path he paved. Ambassador Harry Thomas

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I am sincerely sorry for your loss. Amb. Burroughs was a very nice man. Keeping the family in my prayers.

To the Burroughs Family....John will always be in our hearts and in minds and may god Bless
and Keep his family... John & Ada Ware

I am so sorry for your loss. May the Most High God comfort you as you mourn the loss of your loved one. (Psalm 83:18)
