John Joseph Hanlin

I too was (luckily) tossed into a cubicle with John when I was first hired at Raytheon in Wayland and we hit it off from the start talking about technology. And between him, John Francis and myself we had, I'm sure, the most "manhours per cubicle" each week with his extraordinary dedication. Always a kind and gentle personality, intelligence without ego, a great role model, he is greatly missed already... My prayers go out to his family for their loss.

John was one of the first engineers I met when I joined Raytheon 34 years ago. I shared an office with John for many years and worked with him on a variety of projects. Simply put John was the finest engineer I have ever known. But more importantly John was an exceptionally good man who treated everyone with kindness, decency, and respect. His death is a tremendous loss to all who knew him.

I worked with John in the Microwave Dept of Raytheon in Wayland MA. He was known as the Engineer that always did the analysis or design right and it was checked and double checked. John was always stoic. A man of few words however, he could tell you with a look that your request or direction did not have merit. Very sad to hear of his passing.

Our deepest sympathy for John's family and friends. Proud of his courageous fight, but especially for his kindness on this earth.
Love, Jim and Patty

John was a great guy. He was an excellent engineer. I learned a lot working with him. He was someone I knew I could get help from.

To all of my Hanlin Cousins...please know of my prayers for John and for all of us. Thirty Five cousins form a bond from top to bottom on this tree whose roots run deep. May he know the love of the giver of all good gifts, our Heavenly Father, who first gave him to us, and did not spare HIS SON for us all. Deep Peace. Jimmy

John and I were the new hires in the Antenna group back in the Summer of 1978. I got to know and work with him numerous times. Besides being a talented and dedicated engineer, he was one of the finest person's I've had the privilege to know. My sincere condolences to his family.

I shared an office with John early in my career, and was impressed by his knowledge, dedication and attention to details. He was always willing to help, and had a great attitude. I'm glad he's in heaven now, although he'll be missed here.

John will be remembered as one of the most meticulous and gentle engineers at Raytheon. His expertise includes not only antenna/microwave design, but also 3-dimensional sketching/drawing, and component/antenna testing. He has made major contributions to many of Raytheon's programs, also helped mentor many younger engineers.

This is a big loss to the family and the company. My deepest condolence. We will all miss him.
