Kathy and I were deeply saddened to read of Jan's passing. He was a very dear friend to us while we lived in the president's home ("Robin Hill"), always warm and generous in every way. Our hearts go out to the entire Conrad family at this difficult time.

I was so sorry to hear of Jan's passing. I remember him from my days at the Ithaca Building Center and was so glad to see him when I came to Cornell. He always had a kind word and smiling face for everyone. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.
