John Lanigan

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My memories of Jack Lanigan were from his days at Olympic Federal. He always wanted to do the right thing, no matter how difficult. Do it with a positive attitude and have fun while he was at it.

He was a good friend and love to talk about what was happening in the world. You always knew where he stood on every issue. I will miss my conversations with him.

Thank you for our son Kevin and all you taught me about politics. I will always remember your positive outlook and great sense of humor; we will truly miss you. Love, Pam

To the Lanigan family, I remember Jack from his days at the State Board of Elections. Truly a great guy.

Jack was a true friend to my late husband, the Hon. W. Robert Blair, II. He will be missed. Roxanne Blair

As a young first-generation Irish-American staffer for the Illinois Senate Republicans in the late 60's/early 70's, I found a friend and, before they invented the term, a mentor in Jack Lanigan. Always a straight shooter, Jack was beloved of all who knew him. His loss is felt most deeply by his family, but there are many of us who will close our eyes briefly and smile at the memory of his laugh and his companionship. Go in peace, Jack.

Jack Lanigan added to the quality of life for so many of us, and in many different ways. He had heart and soul and courage. May this good man know God's peace now.
