Not sure what to say?

As an attorney representing The Permian Corporation, I had a number of occasions to meet John - in both business and social settings. Kelly is the only other member of the family whom I have met. John was one of the world's finest. A truly honorable and ethical man, with a great sense of humor. I admired him tremendously, and we all join you in mourning his death.
Love and prayers to all of the family,

I was grieved to hear of your loss from Randy, Maureen. It was an honor to know him and I treasure the time I was privileged to spend with him.

Knowing John was one of the true blessings of my life. I learned so much about leadership from just being in his presence and observing him. He was tough but always fair. Generous beyond belief. He will always have a treasured place in my memory. My condolences to Maureen, Kelly, Jim and other family members. Thank God for men like John Cox....Neil
