Larry, our deepest sympathies to you and your family. If your father's comment "...send flowers." is a sample of his humor, it's easy to see where you get yours. Know that we are thinking of you and your family as you celebrate your father's life. God Bless you all. Scott and Kristine Price, Bob Keeton, Krystal and Karmen Harvey.

Ervin was a wonderful man and I will always remember his sense of humor. I used to love going to the green house when I was little and running up and down the rows of flowers. Ervin was always there, along wth Don making me laugh and giving my candy. My prayers go out to all the family and I will truely miss him, but know now that he is in a better place looking down on us.

Will always fondly remember the long talks in the greenhouse about family, plants, and the endless stories you loved to share. I am so thankful for the visit we had last week, it was good to see you could still give me a hard time. You taught me many things, like how to start seeds the "Janousek way" and to "not plant them upside down", how things used to be done in the old days, and most importantly,how to have fun at work! I will miss your smile and your sense of humor. You are a one of a kind!

Will always remember Ervin, or as we always called him, Mr J., walking around the greenhouse with a smile always on his face. I can remember back when I was a little kid & my mother & I would come in every spring & get lots of flats of annuals. Mr J will be greatly missed & never forgotten. My deepest sympathies to all his family.

Your dad always was warm and friendly to me. He had a fantastic memory as well, much better than mine. He lived a long joyous life. I will miss his smiling face.

How can one think of Ervin and not smile?? Ervin in the greenhouse, Ervin in the back room cleaning flowers. Ervin always making a joke. In lieu of a memorial I'll be planting some new daffodils in my yard - I think he would approve. Hugs and blessings to all of you.
