He bravely confronted and fought lung and brain cancer. Born December 26, 1948, in Big Rapids, MI, Jan grew up in Baldwin, MI. He received a BS and MS in mechanical engineering at the University of Michigan. In 1973 Jan started his engineering career at General Motors Powertrain, Ypsilanti, MI, until his retirement in 2008. Jan never wasted a minute of his life. He had several passions including long distance bicycling, backpacking, hiking, camping and cross country skiing.
