Reflections for Guard John Cleophus "Johnny" Ford
Johnnie Ford, you are my Great Uncle, my father Charles R. Ford, told me about when he was a little boy, his father Moses B. Ford, Johnnie Ford brother which was my Grandfather, how mad he was when they went to the funeral home and saw Johnnie Ford, dead all dirty and in the rain. I didn't know why or what the circumstances was, and my father was just a little boy back then. Me and my sons will visit Johnnie and daughters grave site on November 11th, to clean the area around there grave. If anyone knows more about the incident back then are, what happened to the escapees. Please call me Richard Ford 832-250-0893 .

On today, the 79th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of the state of Texas. There is no tougher job in Law Enforcement than that of a Corrections Officer.
