To the good Lord you have gone. Farewell Brother.
Gone to soon but will never be forgotten. John will surely be missed. A giant of a man with an even bigger heart for his family. He loved his girls and his grand babies were his eyes. He was so proud of his family. He may have not been healed on this earth but I know he is healed in heaven. I am so heartbroken for my granddaughter’s, son and daughter in law. I pray God’s presence bring you comfort. God is close to the broken-hearted.
While I am too new to Texas City to have known John, I have suffered losses of many family members and my husband, and I know well how sad you are feeling. Please know he is with God and all will be well in time. Carol J. Rhodes, CPA Class 34.

John you were a co worker and also my friend. I , we will miss you and your jokes. It will not be the same without you! We had a lot in common, a law enforcement career, love of family, history, and traveling just to name a few. Your earthly time has ended and your heavenly time has started. I know you will watch over us from above. May God bless and keep you, rest in peace .
