Gery Tillmanns, I was taught a simple way to know, which is correct. Break it down:
John and I went to the park. John went to the park. I went to the park.
Come to the park with John and me. Come to the park with John. Come to the park with me.

Richard D. Boyle,
The final comma is called the Oxford comma. The question asks to use the Oxford comma correctly. The comma before the word "and" is the correct way to use the Oxford comma.
The Oxford comma adds clarity.
Consider this sentence with and with out the Oxford comma. It gives the sentence two separate meanings.
Mary had dinner with her two sons, Alice and Susan.
This version sounds as if 3 people dined: Mary and her son Alice and her son Susan.
Mary had dinner with her two sons, Alice, and Susan.
This version sounds as if 5 people dined: Mary, her 2 sons, a 4th person named Alice, and a 5th named Susan.
Personally, I like the Oxford comma and I use it often.

Thank you. That's a great example of why the Oxford comma makes sense. It would certainly add clarity to your example.

Gery Tillmanns,
The pronouns are correct. They are in the objective form, being the objects of the preposition "from".
A good test to determine which is correct is to split the compound objects. "From me" and "from him" are correct. One would never say "from I,"
