I had the pleasure of working for John back in the early 80's. I have often said that he was the greatest influence on my professional career development. I thought of him often. He was a great mentor and will be missed by all that came into contact with him. May God bless you in your time of loss.

John Dorris was one of the good guys, and I am saddened to hear of his family loss. He was one of my Pledge and Fraternity brothers (Theta Chi) at North Texas.
