James Janzso Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 8, 2025.
James Janzso Jr., born on April 13, 1942, in Cleveland, Ohio, passed away on March 14, 2025, in Bedford Heights, Ohio. He was 82 years old.

James proudly served his country in the United States Army and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal in recognition of his service. His dedication to duty and country was a defining part of his life and a source of pride for those who knew him.

A man of quiet passions, James found great joy in building model airplanes and flying them at the local airfield. This hobby reflected both his patience and his love for craftsmanship-qualities that were evident to those who spent time with him.

James was preceded in death by his father, James Janzso; his mother, Helen Janzso; and his sister, Diane Whited. He is remembered with love by his brother-in-law Roger G. Whited; nephew Scott Whited and his wife Pam; and niece Charlotte Mairose and her husband Howard.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to Saint Joseph of Arimathea Pallbearer Ministry for their compassionate service and to Riczo Funeral Home for their professional care during this time.

May James's memory bring comfort to those who knew him and peace to those who mourn his passing.
