We Remember
Janzen, James Alexander
September 15, 1954 — September 7, 2012
James was born on September 15, 1954 in Vancouver, BC and passed away peacefully on September 7, 2012 at Hospice House in Kelowna, BC after a difficult struggle with liver cirrhosis. Predeceased by his mother Laura and father Jack. Survived by his sister Barbara (Ian Woolsey), brother Douglas (Petra), half-sister Cassidy, step-mom Sonja, nephew Graham, uncles Peter (Mary) and David (Margaret) , many cousins, and special friend Karen Petersen. Jim enjoyed the camaraderie of many people and was a regular attendee at swap meets where people could get their keys cut by Jim’s Lock Service. He regularly attended antique car shows, bringing his vintage police car to them for others to enjoy. He was an avid collector of 1950’s music, car and food outlet memorabilia. He was a big hearted, kind man who will be missed by many. A private celebration of his life will be held at a future date.
Sincere condolences to the family. I set up at the market next to Jimmy for many years, and he was always a joy to talk to. My heart is saddened, and I will miss you Jimmy.
