J.G. Helped counsel my son in his life struggles. It was just a week before J.G.´s passing that he reached out to my family to mourn the loss of our son. His guidance and words helped us in our time of loss. Now I must mourn his passing. He tried to help so many. God Bless.

The day I found out that J. G. had passed away, I felt like I had been "gut punched." I was in complete shock. I first met J.G. when he was the Director of The Log House, a treatment facility in west Little Rock, in the late 80's, I'm guessing. It was a struggling facility and I always admired his dedication to helping the women who were residents there. I had a great deal of respect for J.G. and his "by the book" recovery program. It was wonderful to see how his career took off and he became one of the most respected professionals in the recovery community. I often referred to him as the "guru of recovery in Arkansas." He was a great listener and always willing to help anyone. When he established his own practice he told me he would never turn anyone away for lack of money to pay . He was admired, envied and loved by many. There is a huge void left by his passing.
