Ruth, may the peace of God fill your life and give you comfort in the time ahead. I am sure John heard, "Well done my good and faithful servant."

December 29, 2017

John was a good cop, good man, and cherished friend. It was a privilege to work with him through the Garth House and CASA of Southeast Texas, to worship with him at Northwood Christian Church and to call him friend. His impact on me and my family and on countless others cannot be measured.
Love to Ruth and family from our family. God bless and comfort you. Rest in peace John. Lanis McWilliams
