Mr. John always made me welcome in his home. I loved his humor and his laugh. He was a big part of my youth. He raised three good sons.

Mr. John was a good man. I can remember going on camping trips with the Royal Rangers. Mr. John was also known as the Candy man from gum to candy he was always trying to give you some. My prayers go out to all the family

John Raynor was an awesome man. He had a smile that would light up Texas and a Christian witness that was incredible. I was fortunate to attend church with him and to see him every Sunday. While growing up in some difficult circumstances, he was always encouraging to me and ready to give me a "pat on the back". I am grateful that my path crossed his as I was growing up. Surely he was a true man of God. I will be always grateful.
