John F. Linebarger

Such a pleasure to be a part of John´s life. He was a mentor. I will miss our private conversations. Love you John

I'm sorry for your loss

Liney was my favorite "mentor." We met when he was 63 and I was 22. I was always being reprimanded for doing errands and tasks for him instead of the people I actually worked for, but he was my favorite. We both moved on from that place, but no matter how long it had been, he was always there for me if I needed anything at all. Each time we spoke it was as if no time had passed at all. I will miss you Liney and I will forever regret not getting that last dinner. Thanks for always getting me...

I know his niece Kay Watkins from the Police Department's Code Blue Program and other events she participates in. My thoughts and prayers are with John's Family and loved ones. Eartha FWPD

I could always talk and email him. I enjoyed seeing him on holidays and sending him greeting cards through out the year.

Back in the 70´s John and I ran together, he was just a great guy and friend. I could always count on him when my chin was down. Bailed me out of a few close calls. They really didn´t come any better. R. I. P. MY OLD FRIEND, I sure Tim is showing you around. Thanks for all of the Great Memories. GODSPEED MY FRIEND

John Linebarger was special. I actually knew him and referred to him as "Johnny Lines". He was a cherished friend for more than 45 years. His fierce loyalty to those whom he considered a friend is truly remarkable. He was generous to a fault. He was an outstanding lawyer. In his latter years, he was more than courageous in his battles with his health. I will miss my friend, our friend, Johnny Lines. MGD
