I cannot think of a specific memory of Jan, because I have so many fond memories of Jan and the Derion family. From living across the street to going to visit, Jan treated me like one of his kids. Every time we traveled back to Tonawanda, I would visit and Jan (along with the rest of the family) continued to welcome me in. May you rest in paradise Jan. You will be missed!

I was so sorry to hear about Jan's passing. I have so many wonderful childhood memories that include the Derion family! He always welcomed me into his home and treated me like another one of his kids. I will always remember him fondly! Rest in peace Jan, you will forever be loved and missed. I hope they have some good Limburger cheese up there for you (that’s one vivid memory of him my nose will never forget).

Praying for your family as you mourn the loss of Jan. He was kind, funny, and so proud of his family. 
I'm so sorry for your family's loss. Such a kind and loving man, always there for his family ❤️
Everything from the smell of printing ink to the smell of fresh cut flowers <3
