So sad to see this. Jan was my first friend in Winnipeg after moving there in grade 7. We had so much fun just hanging out and on weekends collecting bottles on the side of the road to return for 2 cents apiece. Another good one gone. My condolences to Jan's family. - Posted by: Dr. Larry Grandmaison (Old friend) on: Jan 23, 2023

Jan and I met in school. We were friends even after we both left school. I remember he always had a smile and we could make each other laugh. Such a genuinely nice person. We lost touch over the years but I still smile when I think of him. I am so sorry for his family and friends for your loss. - Posted by: David W Chalmers (Friend) on: Apr 10, 2022
