I have known Dr. Jose Lam for over 30 years in a number of capacities. First, I taught Jose two courses in Entrepreneurship and Strategic Management at the MBA program at John Molson School of Business, Concordia University, Montreal. Because of his impressive rcord and friendly attitude I selected him to be a member of the Concordia MBA Small Business Consulting Bureau aimed at mentoring entrepreneurs in Montreal, Vermont and Plattsburg, New York. Because of his interest in Entrepreneurship and family Business I encouraged him to do a Ph.D in these two areas. Because of his pleasant personality, keen interest in Entrepreneurship I asked him later to Join the John Dobson Mentorship Program of technology entrepreneurs as manager of the program. During his doctoral program we started collaborating on research and he excelled in developing cases of entrepreneurs in Montreal and worldwide.
Jose was indeed a very decent and talented person and over the years we developed a a special friendship. I know he was happy at Grenfell campus of Memorial University and would not leave for any other opportunities.
Jose is a fine personality that is rare to find. My family and I will miss him.
My deepest condolence to his family in Vancouver, his students and the many friends.
