To the Jordan family--- So sorry to see that Jan has passed away. He was a classmate of my second Wife Marilou Smith-Ohning-Hamby. I sold him Pella windows for a project in Newburgh & he bought a Cadillac we traded in to the "Mobility dealer". As you may remember, my second wife died last May--so--I do know how to pray for your family & I will do that. Godspeed Jan & God Bless you all.
