My deepest condolences to Dottie and John's entire family. As a young chemist joining what was then SK&F on Spring Garden Street, John was one of about a dozen people who mentored me through the early stages of my career. He was a truly fantastic scientist, always in a lab coat, and either standing in front of a chromatography instrument or reviewing a chromatogram in the lab with another scientist. I sorely missed him when he left GSK, and I lost track of the number of times I thought to myself "I wish John were here to help us solve this chemistry problem." I have so many fond memories of working with John over 30+ years with the company.
John, thank you for being such a great mentor, for showing me what it means to do good science, and for your friendship over so many years. May you rest in peace.
Condolences for John J. Filan

He will be sadly missed and he is in my thoughts. My deepest condolences to his family.

John, with your kind and gentle ways, you always made people feel comfortable, relaxed and welcomed. I always thought of you as a wonderful husband, father and grandfather.

My you rest with the Lord and watch over everyone. Many prayers to your family in their time of need. Love, Pat W.
