Buddy Laprade
I sat beside John in many classes at Kilgore when we were both earning our police science degrees . Greatest friend a person could have! I even rode with him a few times on patrol and learned so much from him. His spirit lives within all of us as we carry his teachings. He was truly an ambassador to not only law enforcement, but to everyone who knew him. Thanks John for everything you gave me. Buddy LaPrade, Dallas County Marshal Service.
