Gene Janson

To the Janson family,

It is with great sadness that I learned about Gene's passing. I met him at your house while Maureen and I shared stage time during shows at Marillac and Loyola. His smile was infectious, his spirit everlasting. My prayers are with you all.

Dear Janson Family,
I was so sorry to hear about your loss. I too remember him to be a happy, smiling guy, from my days at St. Mary of the Woods through the Marillac Days and Valley Lo. Please know that my thoughts are with you at this sad time.

Janson Family --

I am so very sorry to hear abour your loss. I enjoyed many a gathering at the Janson house during high school and after college when Chris was my stand-in date for many an occasion. Your dad was always a warm, welcoming, and fun presence. Raising two boys, I often think about how I want their relationship with their dad to be like Chris had with his dad.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Janson Family --

So sorry to hear of Gene's passing. While it's been nearly 30 years since I've seen him I still remember his warm and kind manners that distinguished him as a true gentleman (and of course as a "good old boy"--still a favorite movie). He will be missed by all who were touched by knowing him. Our prayers go out to your family at this time of loss.

Dear Jansons,
It was an honor to have known Gene, both in the family setting and seeing him perform.
I am so sorry for your loss. You've all been on my mind a lot since Maureen told me, and I've been remembering Gene here in Madison at Maureen and Claude's wedding, and in Ann Arbor at Maureen's graduation.
I wish you well, and send you my best regards,
Alex

Dear Peg, Maureen, Colleen,and Chris:
My deepest sympathy on losing your husband and father. He was such a kind "gentle" man. He died on the stage-doing what he loved to do. May your memories keep your family going through this difficult time.
With love and prayers,
Lynn and Angelo DiPaolo

The Gene I will remember is a man who was always happy. He had a wonderful laugh, and was a good listener. He spoke highly of his children and showed pics of the new "baby" as if it was the first baby he's ever seen. He played one of the Good O' Boys from the movie The Blues Brothers, and he really was a Good O' Boy! He's the best Gene I know! Peace.

So shocked and saddened to hear of Genes passing. He was a wonderful talent and a great friend. Enjoyed working with him at WTTW for many years.
He will be missed. God Bless his soul.

VAFOMA,

I was very sad to heAr the news of Mr. Janson's passing. Although I did not know him well, he seemed to be a wonderful person with a great family and keen sense of humor.

Our condolences to the whole family
