John was a dear friend, confidante, mentor and a fair and talented judge through the more than 40 years I knew him. My prayers go with you, Ann, and forever with John.

May God Bless you, Ann, during this difficult time. I will always have special memories of your visits and family gatherings with my parents, Ray and Kay Thomas. John will always have a special place in our heart.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
