John Alan Lawrence

We admired his enthusium, hard work and his devotion to family ,friends and his work. He was always there to lend a helping hand. We will always remember the Maple Sugar making, the catching of the runaway pigs and the back yard barbecue.

You are a good friend and loving individual and we will miss you....

Thanks John for...The unforgatteble smile, the elephant questions, jokes , maple party , the boat , the ranch , the TeamLinks team meetings ,driving lessons to sushma and all those tips and guidance for a cheerful life, we miss you John and it was a privilage to have known you and worked with you.

Thanks for sharing your ability to enjoy life. I remember the good times we shared, especially the flight on Virgin airlines and the copius consumption of adult beverages.

Thanks for your smile, your humor, and for having such a positive impact on others you met.

John; Even though we didn't know you well, your presence will be truly missed.

John and I used to work in software development, often late, late at night. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and absolutely wacky way of looking at life were always a joy. One time, after struggling for days to puzzle out a defect in a program, John decided it was time to try something different. So, he brought in a deck of Tarot cards, and we did a "reading" for the software. What a hoot! It jogged our brains enough that we were able to figure out the problem and get back...

While talking about a problem at work John used to smile and say "How hard could it be?!". Well, this is very hard.

We have all lost a great friend and colleague. John truly had a unique sense of humor. He touched many people and he will be missed.

John, I remember your most useful piece of advice was "don't buck the system" - You were talking about installing software products, but it's a good way to get through the rest of life too. I can still see the smile on your face as you said it. Best wishes to your family and friends.

Glad to have known you, John. Will remember your fixing up my computers and providing many wonderful stories about your farm and family.

John, thank you for all the good times we shared. I'll miss your laughter, good cheer, and the smile on your face. It has been a privilege to have known you.
