    Lori, in the short time John worked at GM, he made an impression on all of us. He was gracious, thoughtful and always upbeat. It was obvious from comments he often made that his family was the light in his life. My heart goes out to all of you. May the memories of happy times shared carry you through the coming days.

    Although John was part our life only for a short period, he was well respected and well like by all those he met here at the Port City Group in Muskegon, MI. He talked of sailing, spending time with the family on the boat and the joy he found just being at the marina, John was a good man. On behalf of the staff at Port City Die Cast, I would like to send our sincere condolences to the family of John, you are in our thoughts and prayers. He will be missed-

    John was a great sailor and an even better man. He was the most caring person I think I have ever met as he always took time to give me advice. He was definitely someone I looked up to and I have so many great memories of racing and just sitting on the yacht club porch with John. He was always so upbeat and could make you laugh with a simple saying. I will deeply miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with the Hannigan family during these tough times.

    Lori, my deepest sympathies. John was a great guy and nice to everybody. He will be sorely missed. The support of friends and family will help you get through this. It does get better. Unfortunately, having recently been through this myself, I know exactly how you feel. Jim Roddy, Westside YMCA

    Lori and Family – John had the ability to always see the positive. What a great man. Very sorry for your loss.



  17. Karen Smith on September 16, 2015 at 12:00 am

    Lori, I was saddened to hear this news – you and your husband have been much on my mind over the last year, and will continue to be. Your husband will continue on through all of us, and the impact both he and you have had on others. Charlie and I will be supporting a brain cancer fundraising event this month, and you will be in our hearts. Sending lots of love…

    I used to work at Kodak with John. I sat right next to him at the Elmgrove Plant for about 3 years. I golfed with John quite a few times. I hadn’t heard from John in quite a few years but we were connected through LinkedIn. I just sent John a message but never got a response. I had heard that John had gotten brain cancer but I had also heard that he had survived it. When John didn’t respond to my LinkedIn message I didn’t have a good feeling. I googled his name and was very sad to discover that he had passed away almost 8 years ago. John was a great guy and I am very glad that I got to know him. I was born a year before John and I’m still working. I was planning on potentially working a few more years. Life is definitely short. Hearing about John is making me rethink about when to retire. Sorry for your lose.
