Hello Jolanta and family. I met Jan just a few times and really admired his knowledge of railway heritage. He was so kind too. Wishing you all well, Norah

It is such a sad news to hear about Jan's passing.

Working with Jan was always a nice experience, and Jan knew how to make every business trip in UK a good time!

My condolences to Jan's family.

I was so sorry to hear about Jan's passing. He was talented and people in CATIA team trusted him. My Sincere condoleances.

Sincere condolences to Jan's family from one of his colleagues from the DS Committee of the European Company where Jan was much appreciated and looked up to. His words were always to the point and valuable. I learnt quite a lot from listening to him on various topics, difficulties and suggestions as he was always the constructive one! 

For the last couple of years he's been fighting with so much dignity. It's a great loss for you and also for many friends and colleagues.  All my thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Dear all,

I work at Dassault Systemes and I have met Jan in 2010 when he became part of CATIA team.  

We have been working together for the next 10 years and of course we have had together many many exchanges and many customer visits. And many discussions about  Polish and Briton traditions. 

I don't remember ever  Jan with bad temper or negative feelings : he was so positive and good tempered - a real gentleman. Last time we spoke was in January 2022 if I remember well. He discussed his health problems with lot of dignity and realism. 

So I am very sad for all you because I know how much he cherished you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time.

Sad news. 

Jan, we will be missing you, your smile, your kindness and professionalism. It was always a pleasure to go on business trip with you. 

Condolence to your family

Dear Jolanta & Family, my sincere condolences! 

Jan was a great colleague, sharing his extensive knowledge and being fun at the same time. He will be missed.  

I am so sorry Jan! We had good time meeting woth IBM and DS friends. I'll remember for ever your smile and good mood working as well as getting fun. Rest in peace dear friend. Nicola

With a deep sadness, I learned that my colleague and friend Jan had recently passed away.

I had the chance to know Jan through his activity in the Dassault Systèmes's Commitee of European Company

We had made many exchange about professional concerns during official meetings and also about more personal topic at our hotel's lobby

notably when we had a beer with other colleagues.

I learned many aspect of Jan that a really appreciated like his wit, his sense of humour, his business oriented mind, his passion for music (I remember that he used to be a band's member)

and before all his familly and Poland's root.

My familly had also paid many terrible loss because of cancer.

This year with Jan, I have one more reason to make a donation to research to fight against this disease

I already miss Jan a lot

Condolence

Dear Jan's family, I wanted to express my sincere condolences to you all. It is a very sad moment for all who met Jan in person. I was lucky to have worked with him in the context of the Committee of the European Company where Jan was a brilliant contributor and led many initiatives in favor of UK colleagues. Thank you, Jan for your friendship, your inspiration and help, pick up your old guitar and play!
Dear Jolanta & family, I am very sorry to hear of your loss and sending my heart felt condolences. I am fortunate to have known Jan for 6 years as a colleague at Dassault, and enjoyed his company both in front of the customer and over a pint. Jan, you will be missed.

Deepest condolences to Jan's family

I worked with Jan closely in the early 2000s, he was a lovely man who clearly loved his family. He was a mentor at the time and this is very sad news. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Jolanta & Family,

I had a soft spot for Jan, he was so welcoming, kind and cheery when I joined Dassault Systemes.  He kindly took me through his knowledge in a way that was easy to understand.  We also worked on some customer presentations together;  his knowledge was fabulous and he told a great story.  Jan talked about his family with so much love and fondness.  He told a great story one evening when we are out for a curry near Christmas time, about the Rapacz family rituals at that time of year.  It was lovely and I'm very sad to hear of Jan's passing.  My condolences to all of you, sending strength in this difficult time.

Deepest condolences to Jan's family, friends and colleagues. I had the pleasure to work with Jan in the European Works Council. A very positive memory.

Dear Jolanta & Family, 

On behalf of Dassault Systemes, I wanted to share our condolences. Words are always very inadequate at times like this but we wanted you to know our thoughts are with you at this incredibly sad time. 

I was personally privileged to work twice with Jan, the first at IBM then joining him once again at Dassault Systemes and he was truly valued and cared massively for his colleagues and our clients. We have fond memories both in UK and globally.

Our sincere condolences.

Managing Director, Dassault Systemes
