Thank you to the people of Rooks County, Rooks County Commissioners, courthouse employees and county employees for your trust, respect and support for me as I served as your courthouse custodian the past several years. I will surely miss you all. It was a good position to be able to see many friends and kind people I haven’t seen for awhile, and to get to see you more often. You have a beautiful and magnifident courthouse; one to be proud of forever. You have a prestigious landmark for the county of Rooks.
—Sincerely and gratefully, Roque F. Garcia
