Tom was probably the most honorable man I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. A good Christian and true patriot to our country. I have enjoyed his company for many years working on his train layout and traveling to Trap Shooting events or just hanging out in his shop. I will miss you my friend but look forward to seeing you on the other side.

To the entire Janson family our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Mr. (Dad) Janson was a true legend to Jamal and even to me. If not for your dad, mom, the boys and Pixie, our lives would have been much different. We are eternally grateful to all of you and are thinking of you at this sad time. Love always, Jamal and Terri Burney

Hi to the Janson family, and deepest condolences as well. Working for Tom and blending in with the Janson family in Summers 1963-1966 was one of the most enjoyable times of my life. I was "Big Steve" to the 3 boys. That first Summer was tense, it being the opening, and I worked shoulder to shoulder with Tom. Never forget you all. Big Steve
