We were shocked to read Rene's post this evening informing us of Jan's death. I talked with JT in June 2019 about our time hauling cattle and had a great time sharing stories about your family. Jan was such a large presence in any room he was in and although we may not have always agreed , Jan always had a plan . You may not know the effect you have on someone elses life until times like this but I want you and your whole family to know that my involvement with Jan and your family has been a real blessing in my life.Heaven will truly be a better place with Jan there.
We will keep you all in our prayers

I will miss this man who never failed to show his love of the Lord and his Church. I was particularly touched by his singing and when he would pray at Church it was so beautiful and sincere. I regret that I did not shake his big powerful hand the last time I saw him at Church ( due to COVID ) as he was greeting at the end of the hallway as he always did on Sunday mornings. I look forward to shaking that hand in heaven when I am called by the Lord and Savior.

I was extremely saddened with the news of Jan's passing. I have known him for nearly sixty years since I, like my older brother Jack before me, would spend my summers working on Jan and Reinie' s family farm. I learned the value of hard work on the farm during those summers, and in particular appreciated Jan's apparent complete trust in me working with the farm's machinery, equipment and animals. Great memories! Kathy and I offer our sincere condolences and sympathies to the Speelman family on Jan's passing. He will not be forgotten.

To Reinie and all the family I want to offer my most sincere sympathy on Jan's passing. Although having known Jan for many years through the cattle business when he used to buy from our family farm, it was years later that I got to know Jan and Reini so much more when I was the associate pastor at Aylesford Baptist Church. And also was able to get to know so many others in the family. By Jan's faith in Jesus Christ he is assured of a place in heaven. May he now rejoice in the presence of the Lord whom he served and loved so much. Rest in peace Jan.

In this time of sadness and loss at the death of Jan, a husband, father, Opa, and Great-Opa we offer our condolences and pray and hope that you all will be comforted in the knowledge that Jan has now received his blessed reward in heaven.
Many, many were the times Jan came to the farm in years long since past when he was dealing in livestock, and many were the cups of coffee we enjoyed at the kitchen table, and many were the stories that were shared. Our youngest daughter, who was only a child then, remembers him as the man who had a perm in his hair. All our children remember him as the man who supplied us with several ponies and horses, and a few goats besides.

Dad and Mom were so sorry to hear of Jan’s passing and wanted to extend their sincere condolences.
Every so often we would reminisce of the happy memories we made together. Somehow Jan’s name would come up from someone, by a chance meeting here on the South Shore. He definitely made an impact on the people he met. There would be a bright glitter in Dad’s eye when he would admiringly tell of the times they shared. Dad was truly amazed with Jan’s strength and abilities in all that he did. It was a remarkable feat for him to have had planted a field of oats at the Waterville airport in a single day!
Jan also had the largest tractor in all of the Valley and a pet monkey which drew the attention from every nook and cranny.
I remember, as a young child going for visits or Jan and Reinie along with their teens coming to our home . We were made to feel as we were the most important kids in the world. The generous love they easily showed towards others, as an adult looking back, was certainly from the tiny seed richly planted.
Jan now has a beautiful set of wings, traded for the red and white airplane he and Dad once shared many years ago .
Thank you Jan for for being the living truth.

Dear Reinie and family,
Although we were saddened to hear of Jan's passing, we also rejoice that he is with Jesus. We have many good memories of our chats with Jan, as he popped in on his weekly trips to our farm, where his smile and sense of humour were ever present. May you sense the nearness and comfort of the Lord at this time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Gordon & Joyce Jackson

Losing a loved one is very rough and my heart goes out to the family. I met Jan at the auction house in Aylesford, where he let me buy a pony from him..after outbidding me. He knew my father well and if we were looking for livestock...he was our "go to" man. Thanks for the memories Jan. God speed.
