John was always someone that I could go to for inspriration and direction when I was going thru my period of chaos with my wife and her addiction. Returning to Longview this past November I was able to rekindle that relationship at Trinity Church and we have lost a pillar in our church community. He will be greatly missed.##imported-begin##Leo R Butter##imported-end##
John was a great personal friend to me and my family. He was a source of strength in tough times and also of God given wisdom. He helped us many times over many years. It was an honor and privalege to have known him. John, rest in a well deserved peace. God has prepared an extra special large room for you in his mansion to receive your extra large heart. We'll miss you here on earth but rejoice in the knowlege of you being in Heaven.##imported-begin##Thomas J. Devon##imported-end##
Dear Betty,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of John C. He was such a warm, friendly man of God and I always loved seeing him and getting a hug. He was such a good friend to Jerome. I can truly empathize with you in the loss you must endure. I am out of town and unable to attend John's service, but my sincere thoughts of love and prayers are with you.##imported-begin##mabelle henderson##imported-end##

Mrs. Murphy,
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Mr. Murphy will always stand out in my mind as a great man with a giant heart. When John died, it was Mr. Murphy who consoled me. What a great man.
