Tribute

John Lapham, 1952-2022

A pioneer of PineBridge, John Lapham will be remembered for his words of wisdom, competitive spirit, and larger than life personality. With over 25 years at the firm, he left a lasting impact on our business and our people, many who were lucky enough to count John as a mentor and friend. His passion extended far beyond his successful career at PineBridge, but to every facet of his life, including his love for his family, community, and of course, basketball.
