I first met John when I went to work at the hospital. We both figured out we were from West Texas, and soon became friends. I joined John for lunch and Bible Study almost every day for about a year and a half. I loved his insight and I greatly valued his friendship. I will truly miss him, until we meet again in Glory.  Your friend, Wes Tinney
