Barb,
I am so sorry to hear of Jan’s passing. I worked with him from 1980 till he retired, I always enjoyed his humor. I especially enjoyed our breakfasts at McDonalds before work. I wish the best for you and your family
Omg. Jan was my cousin. I had no idea he passed. I’m so sorry to the rest of his loved ones. The years won’t be the same without calling them on their birthdays or seeing Barb shopping @ Redner’s anymore. 😞 I wondered what happened. I’ll miss them both
