LANE, Jonathan W. Of Natick, passed away peacefully September 18th surrounded by family after a brave battle with cancer. He was born to Dorothy (Leyes) and Howard Lane on April 14th, 1948. He grew up in Staten Island, New York, a place that remained near and dear to his heart for the rest of his life. He began his professional career as a recruiter and went on to a 25 year career as Vice President of Human Resources at Data General, one of the original technology innovators. He then founded ProductWorks, a human resources consulting firm focused on helping small businesses with growth strategies, organizational development and improving efficiencies, where he worked until his death. Jon was a quick study who mastered everything he set his mind to: being a father, grandfather, photographer, gardener, business owner, cook, and family historian. Jon's jovial spirit and zest for life will be missed by all who knew him but especially by his beloved wife, Jane Nolette, his daughters and their husbands, Samantha and Joey Walsh of Davidson, NC; Vanessa Lane and Jack Easley of Verona, NJ and his son, Chris Danaher and his wife, Monica. He also leaves six adored grandchildren: Natalia, Benjamin, Charlotte and Abigail Walsh, Grayson Danaher and Jackie Easley to whom he was affectionately known as "Pop".
A Memorial Visitation will be held from 2:00 P.M. - 3:30 P.M. Saturday, October 13, 2018 at John Everett & Sons Funeral Home 4 Park Street, at Natick Common.
