John Warren Pearson Jr.

I only learned of John's passing today after reading the tribute in the Advocate. Coincidentally today I came across his name on summary of a deal we worked on years ago at McT. I worked on a few files with John in my early associate days and remember him as calm and kind, and generous with his time. My condolences to the family.

I worked as a temporary Legal Assistant with John at McCarthy Tetrault. A very nice man, always with a smile. He will be missed!

I only saw this today in the Advocate. I worked as a float legal assistant for John at McCarthy Tetrault. He was such a lovely person, always with a ready smile! He'll be missed!!

I only just heard of John's passing. I knew him from work and always thought of him as a wonderful kind, generous and polite person. Just a very fine man who always smiled and said hello. My condolences to his family.

Emily and Madeline,

Heartfelt condolences to you and your family. We have wonderful memories of your dad and mom celebrating various school events during the Irwin Park days. There were many fun times at your house on Rosebery and your dad was always a gracious host with a big smile and a warm welcome. He will be remembered fondly and truly missed.

Condolences to the family. I was pleased to meet up again with John a couple of years back at the reunion of SFU charter students.

Dear Marilyn and family,
With our Deepest Sympathy during this difficult time. He will live on in the hearts of everyone who loved him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Marilyn I was sorry to hear about the passing of your husband. Thinking of you during this difficult time.

Deepest condolences to Marilyn and family,

To all of John's family, please accept sincere condolences for your loss. John was the first lawyer I did a large amount of work with. I could not have had a better early mentor. The principles and ideals I learned from John have guided and sustained me for more than 35 years in practice. I was proud to become a partner of John's with Shrum, Liddle and then McCarthy Tetrault. I am sorry that I will be away and unable to join in the celebration of John's life on January 7 but I will carry many fond memories with me.

The family of John
We were classmates @ Dalhousie Law School in 1971.
John was a good friend to many of us - lots of smarts and a fabulous sense of humour . None of us were surprised that he had a great career and lived a very interesting life . His exit from the stage of life has come too soon but of course few of us can control such events . His family should know that many share your loss.
In his day and generation he made a difference to many . Those who met him on the road of his life were enriched by that . May his eternal rest be in peace.
Sincere condolences to all to whom he was endeared.
