Thinking of Steve approaching his 7th anniversary. I miss him and appreciate all of his good advise when he was my boss starting in Oct 1987. I have a beautiful home and a fantastic life because of his guidance and leadership. I will never forget Steve and think of him and pray for him often.

I think of Steve often. I started working at Elmhurst Federal on 63rd Street in 1987. He had me open a 401k the day I qualified for it. He told me to put my next raise in it and half of every raise after that. I did and can´t believe how much he helped me save by teaching me this at the age of 21. He also encouraged me to buy my house when I was 21 for 30,000.00 with a loan from Elmhurst Federal. I still live in the house and it is now worth 10x what I paid for it. Not only was he a kind boss but he had a profound affect on my life (and career) and taught me everything I knew about delivering exceptional customer service and banking. I´m retired now after spending almost 30 years in banking. I passed on his 401k advice to many of my employees so he actually helped many people save for retirement. I wish I knew when he passed so I could have attended his wake. I hope you are all doing well.

Janiszewski Family, I just heard of Steve's passing and I am shocked and saddened. I knew Steve for a few years and have known his sons for several years and he will be missed by all. My prayers are with all of you during this most difficult time.

To the Janiszewski Family - I work at the Illinois Credit Union League and we used Steve as a speaker several times. He was one of my favorites! I loved how his face lit up when he talked about his family. My daughter went to U of I and he always asked how she was doing since I believe two or three of his sons went to school there. He was so courteous, skilled at what he did and pleasant. I was so upset and shocked when I heard what happened. Please know my thoughts and prayers have been with you. He was a wonderful man. Regards, Drew Kayvani

Dear Janiszewski Family,
Growing up in Mt. Greenwood and crossing Pulaski to attend St. Catherine's followed by Marist with Steve Danny and Mike, I always will remember Mr.Janiszewski's smile and dedication to his family. I remember playing mini basketball in the Janiszewski drive way and watching VHS videos of Janiszewski to Fitzgerald passing attack during our 7th and 8th grade 17-2 football years. Thank you Mr. Juice for always welcoming the team to your home.May God be with you always.

I was so sad to hear about Steve yesterday. I met Steve and his business partner, Cathie, 20 years ago when I hired them to help with training delivery. At the time, I never imagined that we would be embarking on a twenty year relationship. Steve was smart, funny and passionate about everything he did and was so proud of his children and his grandchildren. Whenever I asked about his family, he was always ready with a great story and I enjoyed listening to everyone of them. I considered Steve a colleague and a friend and he will be missed.

A friend told me about Steve's death this morning. I always thought he was so friendly and took great care of Cara when we were at mass together. We have been gone from St. Catherine's for 12 years now, but I still remember your wonderful family, Rita. God bless you all.
