So many memories, boating, hot tub nights, dancing at Playhouse, Shriner activities, playing cards and of course drinking. We kept Andy and Jack in line.
You will be missed. Until I see you again my friend. My deepest condolences to Audra, Chris, Judy and their families.
We are so sorry for your loss. Jan was an amazing women and friend. My husband worked with her a Ford. My mother bought every sports car she owned from Jan, including her Mustang. From what I hear, it was a memorable test drive. She will be missed dearly. Rest in Paradise.
So very sorry to read about Jan. She was a wonderful lady that many will miss. Always a smile and always so very friendly.
So sorry to hear about Andy, and now Jan. Bought many cars from Jan and airline tickets from Andy. Thanks for your great service and blessings to your family. My thoughts on and prayers are with you
I am so sorry for all the family of Jan. I have known Jan since high school in Ottawa. And then getting to know her all over again while working at Noller’s. She was a special lady in every way. My prayers are with you at this time. Jan & Andy are together again.
We are so sorry about Jan. She was such a joy to know. We were neighbors for many years and bought vehicles from her. Rest In Peace and now with Andy too.
Audra and family,
So sorry to hear of Jan’s passing. Going to miss her. Now she is back with Andy and she is happy once again.
Kay, Don and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I just found out today about Jan’s passing. I have many fond memories of Jan and your entire family. My memories are of birthday parties, picking pears, and the pontoon boat. I have pictures of Jan at birthday parties in a childhood photo album. Of course, there is the friendship of neighbors and kids across the street. Please know I will be praying you find comfort in your loss.
We also just found out about Jan. Jim and I met Jan by buying a car and then it was several cars. She became a good friend…we loved going out to dinner with Andy and Jan. We just said we missed seeing Jan, since COVID we hadn’t seen or talked to her and that is a big regret. Jan always had a smile and something nice to say…I guess that’s what made her good at her job. She will be missed.
Sorry to hear this news. Jan was bright and full of life. She will be missed by many.
I am so sorry to hear about Jan.She was a great friend to me. I always bought my cars from her. In fact my first new car I bought from her.My Sympathy to her family.Kay Opper
I was so saddened to learn of Jan’s passing. We were close childhood friends, and I have many fond memories of listening to music, hanging out, camping and riding on the pontoon boat her father made at Pomona Lake.
It was nice to have reconnected in the last few years. I pray for comfort for her family and friends.
