i will always think of you as someone with high expectations, exacting performance standards and the strength to do what was right despite what others may have thought or how adverse the situation may be. You never took the easy road and never expected anything from anyone that you didn't expect from yourself . You set the standard for others to follow. Since we met almost 20 years ago we developed a unique working relationship - it really didn't start out that well, we had our struggles but once I came to get a true sense of your talents and strengths and that those were all the things I lacked...we talked it out , we laughed and agreed we would work together playing to each of our strengths and it did work for a long, long time and we had many collective successes because of that partnership. I will forever be grateful for your support & friendship - I am a better person because of you, you are my hero, my teacher, mentor and my friend.
Rest in peace and rejoice that you have no more conference calls !
Jan you will forever be in my heart.
Love
