Washington, Oct 29 -

“I am saddened to hear about the loss of my good friend and colleague John O’Quinn.  John’s generous contributions to our community impacted countless lives, including the thousands of children saved in the building that bares his name at the Children’s Assessment Center of Houston.  While we were on opposite ends of the political spectrum, John and I were long-time friends, in-and-out of the courtroom and serving on the Board of Directors for many years at the Children’s Assessment Center.  Houston has lost one of their finest.  My thoughts and prayers go out to John’s family, he will be dearly missed.”
