JOHN LADD

I always though John Ladd, with his view of defeasible reasoning, was way ahead of everyone else in the US. I did not know the full bio until now, but now it makes sense. Harvard x3, Native American languages, WW2, Oxford, Kant, political, legal, and moral philosophy, computer and biomedical ethics, violence, responsibility, race. How lucky his Brown U students and colleagues have been to have had access to such a mind for so long.

Sarah.and the Ladd Family.I was so sorry to hear John's passing. It brought back a flood of wonderful memories of the laughs and conversations from the many times I had the pleasure of attending your family "gatherings" during the holidays. The many trips up to Lancaster to visit both your parents and the "Great Skunk Adventure" will never be forgotten!!

Dear, Dr. Ladd,(Rosland),
This is Elaine Massotti from the RIH Ethics Committee. I was so sorry to read of your husband's passing. I didn't know him but I am certain that he was a wonderful man to many - you, his children, students and the community. Please extend my sympathy to all your family and I send a sincere embrace to you, a valued person to us all. Elaine Massotti

My condolences to the Ladd family. I had Professor Ladd for a couple philosophy courses in the early '60's and always remember him as a very pleasant person, always trying to help the student.

What a wonderful life he led. He will be missed by so many. We will always treasure our memories of time we spent with Mr. Ladd in New Hampshire over the Fourth of July in 2007. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family...today and always.
