We are heartbroken to share the passing of our dear colleague and friend, John Lafond, who dedicated an incredible 39 years to Land of Lincoln Legal Aid.
John was more than a legal aid attorney. He was a poet who understood the soul of our work and sang the praises of his colleagues with joy and generosity. He brought exuberance, humor, and heart to every room he entered. We are better for having known him.
He was deeply loved by clients, coworkers, and all who had the privilege to work alongside him. His legacy will live on in the countless lives he changed.
