John Lanigan Obituary

My deep condolences on your loss of a great man, leader, and industry innovator. I had the sincere pleasure to meet Jack a decade ago when visiting one of his many companies. His strong work ethic and vision were readily apparent, and he will be missed by many.

My heartfelt sympathies are with everyone. I worked for the company for over 10 years. I would always show respect by always saying "Mr" until one day. Sr as he is called by many, asked if I would call him "Jack". I said I couldn't. So we compromised with me calling him "sr". He was a great man.

My heart goes out to the whole Lanigan family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. What I remember the most about John was his ability to tell these great stories! Stories about starting the company, the triumphs and the failures and his perserverence. He set out to do something for his sons and had the insight to see it through and then some. He Truly lived his dream, how many people can say that. Im blessed that my children and my grandchildren were able to spend quality time and learn from him. He had so much to give, knowledge that they will treasure always. I truly admired everything he stood for. RIP John, what a great life and legacy to leave behind. You will be missed. LJP
