John, you will truly be missed. My heart hurts but I know Gods unchanging hand. You will always hold a special place in my heart. You are the most kindest person I know. A great friend, co-worker, counselor and most of all my special sounding board. Love you John and will always remember our fun times, laughter and working the buses at FCI Tallahassee. Rest up my dear friend. Job well done.
