Great friend and pickleball partner always smiled and loved life. I learned a lot from him and he will be missed.

Sincere condolences on John’s passing. He was a kind-hearted man, and a great pickle ball player. He will be missed.

Difficult to express the loss of a friend and John was a friend. I extend my condolences to John’s children, family and friends, I know we are richer for having known him. He was a very nice man, kind, funny and generous. I’ll remember the great pickleball times, happy hours and get togethers with fondness. It was my pleasure to spend time in his company. May he be at peace.

WAY too young!!!

John and I both started at Compaq back in 1988 and were also on the Board in our neighborhood together. Be in peace John, thoughts and prayers to the family.

There are many brilliant people who have stood out in my life and impacted me greatly….John was one of them. And he did this for me with grace and strength knowing my shortcomings. His smile and laugh will be with me always

This is a major loss for us. John was a great leader who was very passionate about developing and inventing new concepts. Working with John in the Presario Lab to develop the first x86 All-in-One PC was one of the highlights in my career that I will never forget. My sincere condolences to John’s family!!!!

John was, and still is,my loving friend of 3 years. John will always live on in the hearts of those whom knew and loved him. In such a shorttime, John brought so much into my life. Faith was our center,, our rock. He lpved the Lord.. Our dear friend Floria, was there for John, as he made the passage from life on Earth, to his new home in heaven.. John lived life to the fullest. He will be missed.

Such sad news. John will be greatly missed. He was a powerhouse at Compaq / HP and I have been fortunate to be able to work with him over the years. He was able to push projects forward, but also help develop people, a rare gift. My prayers for his family during this time of loss.

John is a icon at HP. He created the whole data/AI story in this iconic company.
I first met John 5 years back and in the first meeting itself, his energy was infectious.
Over the years, I spent many interesting trips, lunches and dinners with him – not only discussing work, but a lot of food and great food places in Houston. I am certainly going to remember him and miss him each time – I visit Peli Peli and Paul’s Pizza etc.

John was larger than life and was so passionate at work and everything he did. We are all going to miss him immensely at HP!

I worked with, (mentored under) John while at Compaq in the early days of CPQ. Lord knows what a team of engineers. I am a better person for having worked and befriended John. God Bless

I only knew John for a short period, but he was kind enough to be my mentor. We spent hours, just nerding out on technology. Talking to John was one of those things where we would lose all track of time and spill over into whatever meeting was planned next in the day.

John was an absolute legend within HP.

He will absolutely be missed.

John was always a fountain of information that willingly contributed to the skill augmentation of those in his teams and across. He was always pursuing more knowledge to provide greater education to himself and the world. His personality contributed to the welcoming nature of collaboration and friendship. He will be missed.

A genius and a powerhouse, I had the pleasure of working with John on a few projects at HP. A great loss! Sending prayers for his family during this time of loss.

Heartfelt condolences, John was a great visionary at HP, will miss him greatly.

No doubt, he will be remembered within the HP family. My condolenses and prayers for him and his loved ones.

My sincere condolences. John was one of a kind and I will miss him dearly. He was a great leader, mentor, advocate, and friend. May he rest in peace.

John had such a big heart and cared for and loved his friends at HP, even if he didn’t always say it. He showed it and said it in how he invested in the careers and well being of so many of his colleagues at HP. There are countless engineers who can point to John’s friendship, mentoring, encouragement, and guidance, as an integral part of their growth personally and professionally within HP, myself included. Have many fond memories of John’s passion for his work, but also his fighting for and defending his teammates and friends. Both in the day to day work, and in supporting their career growth. I can just imagine similar stories from his teammates on the Florida Gators football team. Truly valued John’s friendship, caring, humor, and straight truth. Am lucky to have worked with John for 10+ years together. I and so many others will be “missin” John, just like he missed that “g” all these years 🙂 John’s impact, voice, and friendship will be with us for many years in HP and beyond. We love you John.

John mentored of so many folks at Compaq/HP. He provided considerable support as we headed up a small team to lead GDPR and Privacy efforts across all of Personal Systems. My thoughts and prayers for John and his family.

I had the opportunity to meet John Landry at Data Science Summit in 2017. He made sure that requirements are met for the attendees and was cordial. May he rest in peace

I was greatly saddened to hear of John’s passing. John left a legacy at Compaq and HP as I am sure he did in his personal life as well. John was brilliant but also kind and steadfast in wanting to do the right thing at all times for HP and our customers. John and I worked together for 20+years and were fully aligned most of the time but also at opposite ends of the spectrum on occasion. It was probably during these times of differing opinion that I appreciated John the most; he could argue prolifically and with much persuasion but also listen to you and sincerely understand your point of view. He was always gracious and never belittling or unkind and always patient to educate you, never growing impatient. I will always remember John’s attitude, constant smile and hearty laugh. It was my good fortune to know him, and work alongside him, His impact at work will continue to carry on for many years. May you rest in peace, John.

John you will be sorely missed. I will miss your contagious laughter, willingness to teach and mentor, and commitment to excellence. I especially enjoyed conversations about our shared love of vacationing in the Caribbean and supporting you in the successful submission of your HP Fellow candidate packet. May you rest in everlasting peace.

Shocked as I hear about this news about John. I loved working with him. His laugh, his passion, and his impact will be felt for a LONG time. My sincere condolences to his family and loved ones. Indeed we do love you, John. Rest in peace brother.

shocked by this sad news. Certainly a big loss for everyone who had the opportunity to work with him. Rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to John’s family.

At work, John is a great leader at HP. His legacy will stay with us for many many more years.
To me personally, John is not only the best mentor but also a true friend. I will never forget his kind, humor and laughter…

May your soul rest in peace, John.

“When you speak of John, one thing that comes to mind is a wide smile on his face, his engaged + intense eyes and his attention that encourages you to go deeper into the matter or any matter.” John was a true leader and always had an engaging session about any specific or random topic. I did not believe it for the first time when I read the news. I read it again and was shocked to notice this news about John. You will be missed badly, John. My heartfelt condolence and to the family. Rest in Peace John.

I am heartbroken to read about John’s passing. John was so well respected by his peers and his leadership and was a great inspiration to many who engaged with him, including me. I “knew” John well before I “met” John because of the various activities with which he was involved in at HP. I recently met with John to gather some historical context on a topic and get some advice and he was so full of energy and enthusiasm… I had no idea he was ill. No doubt that he will be immensely missed by all who knew him both in his professional and personal life. We need more John’s in this world. We really, really do. To John, rest well. To John’s family and friends, please accept my most sincere condolences. Be good to yourselves during this difficult time.

I feel blessed for knowing and having worked with John and the dedication of time he spent with me . John was a great story-teller and had a commanding presence in any meeting. God Bless his family.

Incredibly sad and shocked by this news. My sincere condolences are with Landry family and all of John’s loved ones, and my prayers are with John as he travels to everlasting home. I have known John since late 1990 when we worked under a common architecture group. During that time, John was leading a visionary approach of creating a system on a chip (SoC) for our platforms. I had the pleasure of working closely with John and learned a lot from him. John was a considerate and decent human being and a great technology leader. He single handedly reformed our PC quality platform though his vision and work with HP software assistant, still the most widely deployed HP software solution in the market… He started and initiated data analytics work I side PS and helped create a path for all things analytics in HP. We will miss you John. Rest In Peace.

My sincere condolences to John’s family… Rest in peace friend…

My deepest condolences. We have a lost a great visionary, mentor, energy powerhouse and a great human being who spread positivity around wherever he went. He was a true technology legend in his space for which people will remember him always. My prayers for John and his family.

I am so saddened that John left us. During the 10+ years I worked with him I saw first hand how visionary and passionate he was. He helped me grow as an engineer and as a manager. He was always great to brainstorming with him as he was full of idea and always open to new suggestions. His contributions to the PC world will last for a long time. As a human being he was kind, caring and was always looking for helping his teammates and friends. I am truly sorry for John’s children, family and friends. He will be missed.

Very, very sad to hear of John’s passing. I worked with him on several efforts over the years and always found him to be the consummate professional who had a well-reasoned point of view and could share it very articulately. Very visionary but also very practical – a rare combination. He was also very willing to make time for others and help guide them. Truly a gem. Rest in Peace, John.

John was a wonderful human being! His energy, drive and passion is contagious. He will be sorely missed by many folks but his impact on us will last!
Prayers for his soul to rest in peace and hearty condolences to his family!

Out for a walk one evening earlier this year, I got a call from John. He had this idea that we wanted me to vet and suggest next steps. This typified John. Enthusiastic, energetic, smiling and brimming with ideas and actions. Last December, just before Christmas, John had us all gathered in Houston to focus domain and data related course of action, I consider myself fortunate to have been his colleague and his friend. He helped us craft our data sciences community, and relentlessly contributed to make us better.

I am deeply saddened, but I and others will take solace in the fact that we were fortunate in this life to have been in his company.

Our thoughts and prayers for John and his family.

Very sorry to hear the news. I worked with John for 13 years, and had the great honor to recommend him for his HP fellowship nomination. My sincere condolences to his family. May you rest in peace John.

My sincere condolences. John was passionate, kind-hearted man with a great laugh you remember. John will be greatly missed.

John Landry – the name everyone in the AI/ML world at HP will remember. He brought in a whole lot of energy and passion for the DSKD summits. May His soul rest in peace.

John was a pillar at Compaq and HP. When asked what I most appreciate about the company, I’ve always said that it’s the people, of whom John was a standout. He was a force of nature – passionate, smart, engaging, funny…the list could go on. I will always appreciate the time I was able to spend with John and what I was able to learn from him.

Really sorry to hear this news. I will always remember John for being a devoted father. In addition to leaving deep and lasting impact in many areas around HP.

Prayers and thoughts for the family, John was a giant at Compaq/HP–and fearless, excited, motivated by doing more and somehow always confident in what he could change. Determined and down to earth, someone who could always be trusted for being open and truthful and fully human. John changed the world for many of us here.

Sincere condolences to John’s family and friends! I personally don’t know John but reading the message see the huge impact he had on people he worked with and contributions he made to HP which will live on forever.

My deepest condolences to John. He was a great leader and mentor and I enjoyed working with him immensely. He will be greatly missed. May his soul RIP.

Although I worked closely with John only for one year on AI – machine reasoning, I have great respect for John. We graduated from the same University, and I know how talented an athlete he must be for being able to play college football for a National Championship Team. In addition to his achievement in sport, John also excelled in his computer profession and became an HP Fellow. I was immensely impressed by his deep domain knowledge, like in notebook battery characteristics. John, I will miss your smile and encouragement.

Deepest sympathies to John’s family. I had the great opportunity to work with John briefly at HP and from the day we met and every encounter following, John was truly amazing. Always kind and matter-of-fact without an ounce of arrogance for his extreme knowledge on anything we would discuss. He taught me many things in our brief encounters and I will forever be grateful. Thoughts are with John’s entire family and may John forever rest in peace.

My condolences to John’s family. A few years ago when I was getting my master’s degree in data analytics, and I needed some help and guidance. I reached out to John, and I did not really expecting anything since he does not know me personally, and is likely very busy himself. Not only he responded to me immediately, he is so supportive and helpful to me throughout my degree program. I am forever grateful.

Very sad to hear of John’s passing though he’s certainly at peace now. My heart goes out to his family during this time. I’ve known John since the mid-80’s when we worked together at IBM in Boca Raton, FL. You could say that John led the way for several of us to leave IBM and join Compaq in 1988. John and his family were long time neighbors of ours and I have many memories of John at work and socially. John was certainly one of a kind.

My condolences and prayers to the Landry family. I had worked with John off and on for several years in the BigData space. He had tried to recruit me several times and was so generous with his time and offered to provide career guidance etc. I am completely shocked to learn of his passing. He was a great colleague and mentor and I appreciate the things I learned from him. This is a tremendous loss, not just to his family, but his extended HP family as well.

I am very saddened to hear of John’s passing. My heartfelt prayers and blessings to the Landry family. John was a colleague that was always looked to with reverence, knowing that he would always provide the most insightful input and guidance, and would always do so with a hearty laugh and broad smile. You will be sorely missed John. God speed and many blessings.

My condolences. I know my co-workers have always have strong praise for what he did on the job, and everyone there will be missing him. RIP

My sincere condolences to John’s family and friends over your loss. John touched a lot of people’s lives in his 32 years at Compaq/HP. Always cheerful and fun to work with, and a great mentor full of wisdom and knowledge. I will certainly miss not being able to get his fresh ideas on something. I know he is in a better place, and that brings comfort, but we will truly miss him as he touched so many people and was an extraordinary person!

I knew and worked with John on projects since the early days of Compaq and later HP. He was an excellent engineer and mentor. He will be greatly missed. Condolences and prayers to John’s family.

John you have created a great legacy at HP and with your friends and family!!! All interactions with you during your career at HP have taught me that being team player and teamwork is critical. John you always took time to see the other person’s view and opinion to drive the best for Compaq, HP and HP Inc. You will be remembered forever.

My sincere condolences. I remember John as a great father and a great leader. I will miss him dearly.

I am in tears as I read of John’s passing. I supported John in the late 80’s as his admin. Always respectful with something positive and his big smile and laughter is what I remember about John. With deepest sympathy to his children and Family. What a loss!

My condolences and prayers to the family and friends of John. So many great memories of John and the times we spent together; the many years we worked together at Compaq/HP, softball, flag football, indoor soccer, group picnics and team parties……and through it all, John’s laugh and good cheer. He certainly left this world a better place for all of those he touched. He will be remembered and sorely missed.

Only briefly knew John, however I was still the beneficiary of John’s many strengths. He was an influential steward of the industry – he cared and acted on technology that would improve peoples lives. John acted daily on helping other folks in the tech industry to do more, to grow and to contribute more. John always played hard and worked hard – right up to the end. He was always transforming and growing.

“Culture grows great when folks plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”

I miss you John

John was unique, a big guy in so many ways. His contributions to HP are legendary, his impact on peoples’ lives obvious. I met John in 2015 when the Active Health data project joined what is now TechPulse. My farewell words to John were, “you are loved, you are respected, I look forward to seeing you again.”

I’m having trouble accepting that John, with his indomitable energy and enthusiasm, could have his fire on this Earth extinguished. Always thinking big, pushing himself and those around him to strive harder and achieve more, he was a force. Long ago I ran across a quote that I associated immediately with John, “Better to have a wild stallion that you have to rein in now and then than a donkey that you have to kick in the ass to get it moving.” John will always be my model of a stallion. I wish his family the strength to accept that he’s off on a great trail ride.

I love you John. I miss you. I had a question this morning in regards to personal matters. I miss being able to text or call you, make fun of you right off the line. Lol. You would return the humor instantly with a snap. Then comes Jimmy yapping his mouth 😊. I just miss you. Your love is strong and forever. I know these words, expressions and feelings will find you. One love!!!.

I just learned of this – and I’m deeply, deeply sorry. John was great to work with, and his passion for “Lighthouse” turned into the Tech Pulse platform that tracks and manages millions of devices for HP today. Comfort, grace, and peace to John’s family and friends.
Requiem aeternam dona es, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat es.
