Merely stating the obvious when I say your loving wife, Jan, was one of the most capable women I’ve ever met. Strong, tenacious and man could she multi-task!
May memories of her love comfort and cherish you forever. Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way …

ReplyCondolences and sympathies. Praying for the family. Jan was a wonderful lady R.I.P.
ReplyWe are so sorry for your loss. I didn’t see Jan often but she was always so kind and friendly. She will be missed.
ReplySo sorry to hear the news. Jan certainly fought the battle of cancer for quite some time. It will be lonely for you and I will keep you in my prayers as well as Jan who has
gone home to the Lord.
Even though it’s been decades since we spoken, I still consider – considered 🙁 – Jan to be a dear friend, working with and in association with her for many years.
She’d laugh at me for saying it, but the world is a better place for her being here.
So very sorry to hear this news! While I have not seen her for years, I have the blessing of many
fond memories of “Janny-Mac” in our years together in college. We shared many memorable discussions in those years….serious and some on the much lighter side. She will be missed by many, I’m sure. But the wonderful memories will remain through who she was as a person…her character and many wonderful attributes. While her memories linger with us, let us not forget that she shall one day be with us again! My sincere condolences to all her family and friends…Thank YOU, Janny-Mac for the pleasure of knowing
you!
Scott,
So sorry for your loss. Jan was a shinning light in so many ways, I count it a privileged to have gotten to know her.
May God grant you and your family, comfort and peace at this time.
Sincerely,
Ritchie

Jan was an amazing woman and a fixture at AC for many years. She will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and the family.
Scott,
As you know, I had the pleasure of working with Jan for 5 years at Cal Poly, those were the happiest 5 of 27 years I experienced. She was a ray of sunshine, with such a positive spirit and can do attitude. She still brings a smile to my face when I think of her. She will forever be a bright light in my life as I know she was in yours.
My deepest condolences to you and your family.
God Bless, Laura

ReplyJan impacted so many lives and everyone who met her will miss her. I saw her almost every day for four years while in Pasadena, and she made very day brighter and better. Knowing she is no longer with us is incredibly sad. I’m grateful there are so many wonderful memories, and I’m looking forward to seeing her again. My heartfelt condolences go to Scott and her entire family.
ReplyI remember Jan from my Pasadena days. She was such a pleasant person. She was a brave woman to fight cancer for so long. She will be greatly missed.
ReplyJan has been a big part of my life since 1st grade riding on that rattly bus on those rock roads. She and I would always sit together all those years. Always a lady with so much spirit and drive. Her heart was always thinking of everyone else. Her memory will live on. She leaves a legacy of love.
