Condolences and prayers to all who John has left behind. He was a fine actor and a finer man. We never had an opportunity to work together face to face but met several times over the years he will be greatly missed. He was an inspiration to many of us. For a marvelous interview with John go to the actor's choice on YouTube and check out his interview with Ron Brewington. Very fine!

It's hard to fully put into words my deep appreciation for Mr. Houston. He is at once a true friend as he is mentor. Having the same birth year now I see how we quite possibly have journeyed together all these years without me even aware or even having met personally. Many thanks for your acting skills and thoughtful mind sir. RIP our friend. You are missed.

Jenny, Hazel, Kimiko, Kinshasha, Kyler, and Family,
I offer my deepest condolences to the family. John had such a wonderful way of making us laugh and bring humor into our lives. We are so thankful he shared his many talents with us, and his legacy of kindness and grace will last. I remember watching him perform on television and I noticed right away that he was a talented man. May you continue to treasure the good memories you have and may God give you strength and soothe your hearts during this difficult time. Psalm 23
