John and I worked together for many years. He was one of my favorite coworkers to laugh with and talk to. A dear friend to confide in without fear of it being publicized is very rare. Reverend Cox was definitely one of those friends. May God comfort you Gloria, Mesha and Mark as you lay your husband and father to rest.
