John D. Hanshaw

I'm sad to hear of John's passing.

I worked with John at IBM back in the 1990's. I was new to the Albany office and John was a great mentor to me.

I remember several of us went to a IBM SE Symposium in Miami and I had the opportunity to play golf with John at the Doral Blue Monster.

I also remember playing my best round of golf with John in the IBM golf league. On the last hole I made a birdie putt. John's dry humor, he says "your typical 30' double break birdie...

Hello... When I just saw this post; I got a lump in my throat. I worked with John at IBM for about 15 years. He was a real pro. He was an even better human being than he was a co-worker. I liked and admired him immensley. I can truly say that my little corner of the world was made a better place, because john was part of it for a time. It was a pleasure and a privilege to have known him. I am so sorry for your loss. He will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. I spent 20 years in the IBM Albany Branch Office and John was one of the Senior Guys when I shoed up in '84. He was always pleasant, positive and helpful and acted as a mentor to me and many others in the branch. I also had the pleasure of having him beat up on me in the IBM Golf League for many years, where he was not as "accommodating" :)...
He was part of a culture that defined what it meant to be a Proud IBM'er back in the day. Unfortunately,...

We are so very sorry to learn of John's passing. His business expertise and personal character were special. With sympathy, Janet and Clay Rose
