John was the STANDARD that all of us in this industry strive to meet. An exceptional acquaintance to those who met him for the 1st time; a remarkable friend to those he took into his inner circle and an outstanding ambassador for the safety culture he nourished every day. I will always cherish the experience he passed on to a rookie sales representative - I owe him much and will thank him every morning as I wake up for being such a remarkable man. / Dick Brown, McDonald Safety Equipment

Met him briefly when he filled in for John Rothe while taking OSHA 510. Very knowledgeable. Most definitely wasn't afraid of heights. May the knowledge he passed on continue to bless others and keep our workforce safe. Thanking him for teaching us all.

John I just can't believe you're gone. We became brothers-in-law 40 years ago when I married Judy's (younger) sister, Wendy. Over those years I always enjoyed hearing all about the "adventures" you experienced on the various job sites you worked and places you visited and seeing the many pictures you took to both enjoy and educate in your safety classes. I'll remember your passion and humor and all the cool stuff you "collected" pretty much wherever you went. You will be missed. My heartfelt condolences to Judy and the whole Lanigan clan. Bob
