John Hanna Jr.

Hi Guys -
It is with much sadness that we just learned of the passing of your dad. I can't even guess how many years our families go back - but its many. Your dad was a man of great faith as exhibited in the many years of singing in St Peter's Choir. John Hanna will always be remembered as a true Gentleman - and with a sense of humor ! Love And God Bless.

For many years John was an important and very influential member of committees to allocate shares of parties at toxic sites in Western NY. He always was a pleasure to work with and his suggestions of how to resolve issues carried great weight.
Meetings of 25-30 lawyers often were tedious and contentious but he could quietly bring parties together. He was a fine lawyer and his skills benefited many.

John and I were brought together by activities involving Princeton, music and the law. He had both a serious side and a wonderful sense of humor. My wife and I will miss him very much.

So sorry to learn of this. The Hannas were a force of nature in Old Chatham forever, with John as the gracious leader of all things fun and community. Sending sympathy to the kids.

I'm saddened to learn of John's death. We first met 50 years ago when we were both on Commissioner Diamond's staff at the brand new Dept of Enviromental Conservation. He was truly a gentle-man and was held in highest regard in his legal and social communities, always ready to help out, even before being asked. He will be missed and I send my condolences to his family.
